Every severance obligation, waiver scope, and restrictive covenant, extracted consistently across every separation agreement, every time.
The challenge
Separation agreements layer severance terms, benefit obligations, legal waivers, restrictive covenants, and confidentiality provisions into a single document where every element must be enforceable and compliant. Inconsistent application of waiver scope, unenforceable covenants in key jurisdictions, missed statutory notice requirements, and misunderstood severance conditions each carry direct legal and financial consequence, and none of them surface until the agreement is tested.
The solution
Apply the Separation Agreements Question List to a single agreement or across a portfolio of separations. Ask iManage extracts severance package details and conditions, benefit continuation terms, legal waivers and release scope, statutory compliance checkpoints, non-compete and non-solicitation covenants, confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations, and execution timelines, returning structured, citation-backed outputs so teams can verify enforceability, confirm compliance, and close out separations without residual exposure.
