This area covers resolving large groups of claims arising from adjudications by drafting and negotiating comprehensive settlement agreements, arranging for the distribution of settlement funds, and finalising releases, confidentiality terms and performance obligations. A solicitor helps safeguard enforceability, checks for overlapping rights, and coordinates with counter-parties, funders, and third parties. They also advise on court or tribunal consent orders, enforcement, and any post-settlement steps needed to close the matter.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the provisions, releases, funding arrangements, and any performance milestones or conditions. They identify who signs, ensure terms are legally binding, consider confidentiality and non-disclosure, and manage subsequent enforcement or variation if circumstances change.
