Comparative law notes
In contracts, the expression "hold harmless" often appears in the phrase "indemnify and hold harmless". According to Garner, "the majority rule is that indemnify and hold harmless is a unitary phrase that means nothing more than indemnify alone." (GARNER, BRYAN. Garner's Dictionary of Legal Usage, 2011). Therefore, "indemnify and hold harmless" can be translated into Portuguese simply as "indenizar".
