Key Requirements PROMPT example:

Document background

A Release Of Liability Settlement Agreement is utilized when parties wish to resolve a dispute without proceeding to court litigation, or to settle ongoing litigation. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, provides a comprehensive framework for settling claims and preventing future litigation on the same matter. It typically includes details of the settlement amount, payment terms, the scope of claims being released, and any conditions attached to the settlement. The agreement is particularly valuable in providing certainty and finality to both parties while maintaining confidentiality of the settlement terms.

Suggested Sections

1. Parties: Identifies all parties to the agreement with full legal names and addresses

2. Background: Outlines the context of the dispute and reason for settlement

3. Definitions: Defines key terms used throughout the agreement

4. Settlement Terms: Details of the settlement amount and payment terms

5. Release Provisions: Specific terms of the release from liability

6. Confidentiality: Terms regarding confidentiality of the settlement

7. Entire Agreement: Confirms this document represents the complete agreement

8. Governing Law: Specifies jurisdiction and applicable law

Optional Sections

1. Non-Admission of Liability: Statement that settlement does not constitute admission of liability - use when defending party wants to explicitly deny liability

2. Tax Implications: Addresses tax treatment of settlement payments - use when settlement involves significant monetary compensation

3. Non-Disparagement: Prevents parties from making negative statements about each other - use in high-profile or sensitive cases

4. Future Cooperation: Terms regarding ongoing relationship between parties - use when parties need to maintain business relationship

Suggested Schedules

1. Schedule of Payments: Detailed payment structure if settlement involves installments

2. Schedule of Released Claims: Specific list of claims being released

3. Schedule of Related Proceedings: List of any related legal proceedings being terminated

4. Form of Release: Template for formal release documentation
