Three Written Words That Might Prevent a Lawsuit

Great Article by my colleague Julie Fershtman. 
Read about Risk of Loss in a contract involving an animal in layman's terms. 

Then ask yourself, did I have this conversation with the person I am contracting with?
If not, can I use mediation to resolve a conflict that may arise under the R of L or generally in a loos situation if there is no R of L agreement, to avoid costly litigation.
