Drafting Clear and Enforceable Settlement Agreements:
Guidance From Broida and Hadley
Peter Broida, Attorney, Author, Trainer, Speaker, Federal Employment Law Expert
Ernest Hadley, Attorney, Author, Trainer, Speaker, Federal Employment Law Expert

Poorly drafted settlement agreements may lead to even more disputes over their meaning … or worse, expose your agency to obligations that were never contemplated during negotiations.

Here’s your chance to hear authoritative guidance straight from two of the most respected voices in federal employment law — Peter Broida and Ernest Hadley — as they speak directly to you about drafting sound settlement agreements.

Drawing on their decades of experience, Broida and Hadley will identify clauses that frequently cause problems as well as clauses that should be included in most agreements to protect your agency’s interests. In 90 minutes, you’ll learn the essential dos and don’ts of clear, enforceable settlement agreements that satisfy both parties, plus:

            •    How to avoid the problem of “illusory agreements”

            •    Why agreements promising that the complainant will be treat ed
                 with dignity and respect will be void

            •    How one simple oversight could leave you without an enforcement
                 mechanism

            •    When an employee can pursue a claim of age discrimination
                 on a claim that was covered

What’s more, Broida and Hadley will give you a solid understanding of:

            •    MSPB and EEOC settlement procedures

            •    Minimum settlement requirements

            •    Signatories to agreements

            •    Confidentiality clauses

            •    Clean paper agreements

            •    Compensatory damages and tax issues
