The book integrates doctrinal, empirical, and comparative methodologies to identify systemic imbalances in risk allocation, particularly affecting contractors in emerging markets.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFocusing on indemnity and hold harmless clauses, the study explores legal principles, industry practice, and the implications of unequal bargaining power. It provides a comparative analysis of the voluntary knock-for-knock regime in the UK, statutory protections in Texas and Louisiana, and the absence of a comprehensive framework in Malaysia. The author proposes bold reforms for Malaysian law, including the enactment of a Malaysian Oilfield Anti-Indemnity Act, modeled on U.S. experience but adapted to the Malaysian context.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars of energy law, contract law, and governance; legal practitioners in the oil and gas sector; corporate counsel; and policymakers seeking equitable reform in commercial contracts. It is especially relevant to the Global South, where oil and gas development often occurs in the shadow of regulatory gaps and power asymmetries.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWan Mohd Zulhafiz bin Wan Zahari is an Associate Professor at the Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws (AIKOL), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM).
