Summary

Contexto

  • Enforceable settlement agreement: negotiation of terms with schedule, conditions, default triggers, and acceleration mechanisms, providing real guarantees appropriate to risk
  • Executive scenario preparation: enforcement dossier (evidence, titles, steps, and measures) for immediate action in case of default

  • Term sheet/draft settlement agreement structured, with guarantees and default triggers
