Highlights

Increasingly, staffing firms are encountering client requests to be indemnified against various types of liability. But they should not be expected to cover risks beyond those inherent in the staffing business. During this webinar, Craig Hopewell of BelFlex Staffing Network will examine which contractual risks industrial staffing firms face and how they can avoid signing staffing contracts that ask them to assume risks related to the client’s business—including liability for the client’s own products and services.

During this webinar, attendees will learn

• How to combat client responses such as “everyone is signing this”
• Which common clauses leave staffing firms most vulnerable in client contracts
• Which contractual risks staffing firms realistically face, and how to mitigate them
• How to negotiate contract language so it is reasonable for both the staffing firm and the client
• How to prioritize items being negotiated
