We review the indemnification and insurance language in existing leases and contracts, including the scope of indemnification and hold-harmless language, requirements for waivers of subrogation on property, liability and workers' compensation, and appropriateness of insurance requirements.

Surety Services

The Jenkins surety department works with clients to develop customized bond programs that fit each client’s unique needs. Surety companies are reviewed and evaluated for consistency in underwriting, capacity, ratings, stability, and rate economy. Clients are effectively represented to surety markets with assistance in bond request presentation, review of bond requests for appropriateness, and prompt, correct bond issuance.

This industry faces a broad range of risk management issues ranging from fleet safety to repetitive motion and soft tissue workers' compensation injuries. Our insightful service includes analysis of business income exposures to loss, an area where many food and beverage companies are seriously underinsured. We can design a program to adequate fund or mitigate losses while also transfer the risk that results from dependence on a supplier, distributor or other manufacturer. Our technical staff has extensive experience in the product withdrawal arena and routinely assists food clients in analyzing the insurance products available to insure for these types of claims.
