In addition, if the parties have agreed to any additional terms such as a broad or general release, or confidentiality, nondisparagement, or no re-employment provisions, counsel must explain why such provisions do not impact the reasonableness and fairness of the settlement amount. DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on April 18, 2025.
