Responsibility for Representation in Litigation Clause Samples

The 'Responsibility for Representation in Litigation' clause defines which party is accountable for providing legal representation in the event of a lawsuit or legal dispute related to the agreement. Typically, this clause specifies whether one party must secure and pay for legal counsel, or if each party is responsible for their own representation. For example, in a service contract, the service provider may be required to defend the client against third-party claims arising from the provider's actions. The core function of this clause is to clarify obligations regarding legal defense, thereby preventing confusion and disputes over who must handle and bear the costs of litigation.
