What's at stake
What is really at stake
- 01Price gets negotiated hard.The warranty schedule gets negotiated late, often by exhausted people against a completion deadline.
- 02Yet this is what determines whether a buyer has recourse when something surfaces, and whether a seller has a clean exit or a tail of exposure lasting years.
In plain words
Warranties, Indemnities and Disclosure Letter
Drafting or review of the warranty schedule, specific indemnities, limitations of liability including caps and time limits, and the disclosure letter that qualifies what the seller is warranting.
What good looks like
Imagine a warranty package where both sides know exactly what has been warranted, what has been disclosed against it, what the cap is and how long the exposure runs.

Before you sign
The cost of waiting
What is properly disclosed generally cannot be claimed on. The disclosure letter is not administrative — it is where a large part of the risk actually moves.
