what is a general release

In a small business context, a general release may be used in a variety of circumstances. General releases are documents with legal effect, provided specific requirements are met. Because general releases are contractual agreements, they must adhere to certain contract principles. General releases involve one party surrendering the right to sue -- or bring a claim against -- another party. The individual who agrees to release another individual from future claims is the releasor; the individual being released from future claims is the releasee.
