Heading: Mr. Shields’ Indemnification Counterclaim

Text: In response to Mr. Broaddus’ Complaint, Mr. Shields filed a counterclaim for indemnification, seeking to enforce a contractual indemnity provision and two contractual fee-shifting provisions. After the district court granted summary judgment in favor of Mr. Shields on Mr. Broaddus’ breach of fiduciary duty claim, Mr. Shields moved for summary judgment on his indemnification claim. The district court addressed each of the contracts at issue and determined that each afforded Mr. Shields a basis for indemnity by Mr. Broaddus. Mr. Broaddus appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Mr. Shields on each of the contracts related to the indemnification counterclaim.
