Contractor-Controlled Litigation Sample Clauses
The Contractor-Controlled Litigation clause grants the contractor the authority to manage and direct any legal proceedings related to the contract, such as defending against claims or pursuing legal remedies. In practice, this means the contractor decides on legal strategies, selects counsel, and determines whether to settle or continue litigation, often at their own expense but potentially with input from the client. This clause is designed to centralize control over litigation decisions, ensuring that the party most directly involved and potentially liable can act efficiently and in their own best interest, while also clarifying responsibilities and reducing disputes over legal management.
