We use the following forms as a starting point for creating individualized settlement agreements at the end of a mediation or other dispute resolution process. These are for non-family cases (such as an employment or business dispute); click here for family law resources and forms or alternative dispute resolution – family.
Memorandum of Understanding – this form is often used at the end of a mediation to memorialize the basic terms of an agreement when there is not enough time for the parties to draft a detailed settlement agreement.
Settlement Agreement – this form contains some of the detail needed for a formal settlement agreement. Please bear in mind that there is no single, standard form suitable for settlement of all cases.
Severance Agreement – this form contains terms that might be useful in the settlement of an employment termination case.
