Settlement Agreement Confidentiality Explained

Summary

Confidentiality clauses in settlement agreements are common and protect both parties privacy. They keep the agreements details secret, except for information already disclosed in the original claim, such as employment termination details. This clause applies regardless of whether the information was made public. You can discuss only the racial harassment details mentioned in the claim. These clauses are standard and can vary in strictness, but the one described is typical and balanced. If you have further questions about your settlement agreement, consider consulting a legal professional for personalized advice.
