The Legal Risk Score of a Release Letter Agreement Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  1. There may be risks associated with any obligations, claims, or liabilities not specifically identified or acknowledged in the mutual release clause, which could potentially leave either party exposed to unforeseen responsibilities.
  2. Once the mutual release is signed, parties may have no recourse to address any claims or issues that arise post-signature related to the original agreement, potentially leaving them without remedy for future related disputes.
  3. The lack of detailed definitions or clarifications within the clauses may lead to different interpretations of what constitutes "fulfilled obligations," potentially leading to disagreements or conflicts between the parties.
