Defense Counsel Sample Clauses
The Defense Counsel clause designates the legal representative responsible for defending a party in the event of a claim, lawsuit, or legal proceeding. Typically, this clause outlines who selects the defense attorney—whether the indemnifying party, the indemnified party, or both—and may specify requirements such as the counsel's qualifications or the need for prior approval. Its core function is to ensure that the interests of the party being defended are adequately represented while also clarifying the process for appointing legal counsel, thereby preventing disputes over legal representation during litigation.
