Settlement & Mutual Release Agreement
A Settlement & Mutual Release Agreement resolves disputes and releases parties from future claims. This playbook outlines negotiation of consideration, confidentiality, and release scope.
Confidentiality & Non-Compete
Negotiation strategy
Ensure confidentiality clauses are comprehensive and enforceable, with a clear scope and duration. Negotiate reasonable non-compete terms to protect business interests without overreaching.
Seek to limit the scope and duration of confidentiality and non-compete clauses to ensure they are reasonable and comply with jurisdictional standards. Focus on protecting your ability to operate post-agreement.
Essential elements
1
Confidentiality Obligations
Protect sensitive information.
2
Non-Compete Terms
Restrict competitive activities.
3
Non-Solicitation Clause
Prevent client diversion.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits when clauses are overly broad or unenforceable in certain jurisdictions.
EDIT
Reject clauses that impose unreasonable restrictions or conflict with local laws.
ADD
Add clauses to ensure comprehensive protection of trade secrets and competitive interests.
PRO TIP
Always verify the enforceability of non-compete clauses in the relevant jurisdiction before finalizing the agreement.
Example clauses
FAVORABLE
Strong Confidentiality Clause
"The Receiving Party shall keep confidential and shall not disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as required by law."
NEUTRAL
Standard Non-Compete Clause

Overly Restrictive Non-Compete

Fallbacks
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, confidentiality and non-compete clauses should be more stringent to protect sensitive data and competitive interests.
Cross-Border Transactions
Consider jurisdictional differences in enforceability when drafting non-compete clauses for cross-border transactions.
Start-Up Ventures
Start-ups may require more flexible non-compete terms to attract talent and foster innovation while still protecting core business interests.
