INTRODUCTION
The Contractual Risk, Insurance and Indemnities Course by EuroMaTech provides professionals with the essential tools to identify, allocate, and mitigate risks through well-structured contractual agreements. In every organization, contracts are the primary mechanism for managing commercial and operational risks. This course helps participants understand how contracts can be used to balance responsibilities, define indemnities, and establish insurance frameworks that protect all parties involved.
