Protecting Parties Through Legal Commitment and Risk Allocation

At US Capital Private Bank, ensuring clear and legally binding agreements between parties is essential to safeguard assets and mitigate risks. The Hold Harmless and Indemnity Agreement (HHIA) is a critical legal tool used to allocate responsibility and protect against claims, losses, or damages.
