With the majority of legal disputes being resolved in settlement, crafting strong, enforceable settlement agreements is critical. Most attorneys prepare to negotiate their case, but few get ready to write an effective settlement agreement that optimally addresses all of the issues between the parties and comports with statutory requirements. Crafting Effective Settlement Agreements: A Guidebook for Attorneys and Mediators identifies the many elements of preparation, from drafting proposed settlement agreements prior to negotiations, to reviewing boilerplate provisions with language that may be contradictory to the provisions unique to the settlement negotiated, to identifying desirable nonmonetary terms for the settlement of “money only” cases, such as indemnity and confidentiality clauses and clearly enforceable payout schedules.
