Liens
This is only a portion of the contract; however, regardless, GENERALLY, indemnifcation clauses cannot stop the subcontractor from liening the project (I have never heard of such a case, with that being said, there is not enough information here). If you need assistance with a lien, please let us know.
Lien Rights
Doug, very complex question, more information is likely needed. Generally, if a project is private, you'd have lien rights as against the respective real property where the project is located. In Connecticut, if the project is public, bonding would be necessary for the project and there would have to be a bond to make a contractor/subcontractor/materialman whole as you would not be able to foreclose on the project. Regardless of lien rights, are there payment bonds invovled? As to the lien rights issue, that would likely require some legal research and additional facts and circumstances.
As a private person, can I file a lien for the house where I was doing construction work?
