How Do You Write a Release Form? The first step in writing is identifying all parties involved, including the releaser and the release. Specify the activity or event in detail, such as a photo shoot, a video production, or a performance. Clearly specify what is being released, whether liability, claims, or damages.

A generic form of release agreement under Georgia law for use when parties to a commercial contract are terminating or have terminated the contract (or a portion of it) and have agreed to deliver a mutual release of claims.

A general release of liability is used when one party gives up all known and unknown claims against another party. For example, a departing employee who signs a general release will not be able to sue the employer if later the employee discovers a reason to do so.
