Whistleblower and Sarbanes-Oxley or Dodd-Frank Retaliation: Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release
A settlement agreement resolving a Whistleblower and Sarbanes-Oxley or Dodd-Frank Retaliation dispute, with the payment terms, a release scoped precisely to the claims being resolved, and the confidentiality, non-disparagement, and no-admission provisions.
The release language is where these agreements fail years later, so it gets drafted deliberately. Drafted so the resolution actually closes the matter, including release scope, payment security, and enforcement.
Frequently asked questions
The fee covers the finished document, filing-ready or send-ready as applicable, the supporting exhibits or attachments described in the scope, and a short cover memorandum explaining the choices made. It is fixed at this scope: two parties, and up to 3 payment tranches. 2 rounds of revisions are included. If your matter falls outside that scope we tell you before starting and quote the difference — we do not bill past a flat fee without agreeing it first.
1 to 2 weeks from a complete set of instructions, plus time for the 2 rounds of revisions included in the fee. If you are working to a court deadline or a closing date, tell us when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can meet it before you commit.
$4,400 is $325/hour × 13.5 hours — the time this deliverable takes in an ordinary whistleblower and sarbanes-oxley or dodd-frank retaliation matter, at the firm's standard rate. Because it is a flat fee, the risk of the work running long sits with the firm: you pay $4,400 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
Third-party costs are never inside a flat fee and are passed through at cost, never marked up: court and agency filing fees, court reporter and transcript charges, expert witness fees, search vendor and e-discovery hosting charges, process server fees, and travel.
A short description of the dispute and where it currently stands, the key documents, contracts, and correspondence, the parties involved and any deadlines already running, and the case caption and court, if a matter has been filed. Send what you have — if something is missing we will tell you what else we need before the turnaround clock starts.
