Enforceable Federal EEO Settlement Agreements: From Crafting to Drafting

Both the EEOC and the courts are pushing case settlements, so now is the time to get essential training on addressing settlements in a proactive, productive manner – or tomorrow will find you cleaning up after an agreement that wilted under review.

Learn from Joe Kaplan, not only an experienced litigator but also a popular speaker known for providing useful nuts-and-bolts advice. He’ll show you how to avoid the mistakes that lead to settlement terms being unlawful, insufficient or difficult to enforce.

You’ll gain a broad perspective on the process of drafting fail-proof agreements:

• When it's in the agency's best interest to settle
• Basic elements for a viable settlement agreement
• When a settlement agreement can be found void
• How settlement agreements are interpreted

And, living up to his reputation, Mr. Kaplan will give you ready-to-use tips to:

• Eliminate vague terms that can void the agreement
• Include terms so an agreement can be salvaged even if one provision is breached
• Make sure a settlement has sufficient “consideration” to be enforceable
• Avoid crafting a settlement that fails to comply with the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act
• Ensure a violation of a confidentiality provision doesn’t sink the entire settlement
