StoneTurn has developed a guide to help companies and their external counsel prepare for and manage post-resolution obligations.

Corporate settlement agreements used to be straightforward—pay the penalty and move on. Now, these resolutions rival complex business transactions, including months of negotiations and multi-year post-resolution obligations. Satisfying post-settlement commitments is a business imperative, not just a legal obligation. Meeting, if not exceeding obligations, helps restore brand value and improves employee and investor stakeholder confidence. This guide includes four sections: 1) Commitments and Breaches; 2) Certifying Compliance Program Effectiveness; 3) Duty to Report Misconduct Allegations; and 4) Making the Best of a Government Monitor.
