This Aspatore legal title provides a comprehensive examination of the text of a standard commercial settlement agreement. Written by two practicing attorneys with more than forty years combined experience, this book explains the reasoning behind the various clauses in the agreement, noting the strategic and practical importance of each provision. The authors discuss such key topics as drafting payment and release provisions; factoring confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses into the settlement process; and weighing the merits of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. A CD-ROM is included, which provides searchable PDF and Word versions of the book with a sample agreement.
