PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES
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.
Representations & Warranties
Negotiation strategy
The Buyer should ensure that all representations and warranties are comprehensive and include a survival period that aligns with the transaction's risk profile. Insist on detailed disclosure schedules to mitigate post-closing risks.
The Seller should aim to limit the scope of representations and warranties to what is strictly necessary and ensure liability caps are in place. Provide thorough disclosure schedules to qualify representations and manage risk.
Essential elements
1
Authority Confirmation
Seller's power to execute agreement.
2
Information Accuracy
Truthfulness of provided information.
3
Conflict Avoidance
No legal or document conflicts.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if representations are too broad or lack necessary qualifications.
EDIT
Reject if representations are overly burdensome or impossible to meet.
ADD
Add clauses if key representations or risk allocations are missing.
PRO TIP
Always cross-reference disclosure schedules with representations to ensure alignment and risk mitigation.

Fallbacks
High-Risk Projects
In high-risk projects, representations should be more detailed, and survival periods extended to cover potential long-term liabilities.
Cross-Border Transactions
Cross-border deals require additional representations regarding compliance with international laws and regulations.
Start-Up Acquisitions
For start-ups, focus on intellectual property representations and ensure founders' warranties are included.
