What is a Settlement Agreement?

A Settlement Agreement is a sort of legal document that aids in the resolution of disputes between parties by reaching an agreement on the terms. This agreement is mostly utilized in civil law proceedings and serves as a legally enforceable contract. In advance, the parties agree on the outcome of the verdict.

When a settlement agreement is reached, there is typically no need for a lengthy or drawn-out judicial proceeding. Because they are produced through mediation methods rather than a trial, settlements frequently save clients time and money. A settlement contract, however, must be approved by the judge.

Many civil lawsuits result in a settlement agreement. The settlement prevents both parties from devoting resources to a lengthy trial. A settlement is reached when one party agrees to complete an action or pay a particular sum in exchange for the other side agreeing to end legal proceedings.
