Recently obtained full recovery of attorney fees and costs incurred by a department store client via contractual indemnification in a high value case from a mall owner/manager following extensive litigation via a motion for summary judgment. The exact cause and location of the personal injury claim were hotly disputed, as were the terms and conditions of the series of complex leases and operating agreements governing the relationship between the client and mall owner, some of which dated back 50 years. New Jersey indemnification law under these circumstances has been sharply curtailed by recent cases; nevertheless, Alex has had numerous similar successful indemnification results on behalf of various industrial, construction, and retail clients.
