Negotiating and Drafting Settlement Agreements and Releases

Practitioners are often instructed to make or consider, offers of settlement, enter into settlement negotiations, and draw settlement agreements and / or enforce their terms. It is imperative that

practitioners have excellent drafting skills in order to accurately record settlement and minimise client risk.

This seminar will cover:

• “Without prejudice” offers and negotiations;

• Forms of settlement offers;

• Drafting terms of settlement and releases; and

• Key risk areas.
