Non-Disclosure Agreements
We draft non-disclosure agreements for :
The Process:
First:
Decide to invest in protecting your valuable business secrets. You will be paying for an agreement that will convince those with whom you share your confidential information, that to divulge your secrets is not worth their exposure. You will be paying for a contract that is enforceable in the jurisdiction of your choosing. The contract will reimburse you for your losses and expenses should it be breached. You will be investing in showing your business as the best in industry in appearance, getting the overall picture right, and maintaining the details.
Second:
We will set up a meeting in person or a video conference. Click on the link in this article so that you may prepare for your meeting.
Third:
We will begin the drafting process after our meeting.
Time to completion will depend upon the complexity and volume of the work, as well as the number of changes, and other complicating factors.
It is Critical to Choose the Right Type of Non-Disclosure Agreement For Your Use
There are different types of non-disclosure agreements. Those differences include:
Unilateral NDAs
(one party is disclosing a secret to another, only)
Bilateral NDAs
(two or more parties are disclosing secrets to each other)
Jurisdiction Specific NDAs
(legal jurisdictions differ in their authority and how they enforce NDAs. Sometimes multiple jurisdictions or countries are involved!)
Trade Secret Specific NDAs
(special NDA language is needed when copyright, trade secret, and other “special” laws apply)
Industry Specific NDAs
(There are differing norms, expected ways of behaving, and legal enforcement of NDAs for differing industries. A working NDA must be adapted for these differences)
Occupation Specific NDAs
(Some occupations have special rules for the disclosure of secrets)
Activity/Transaction Specific NDAs
(Some NDAs need to be tailored to a specific transaction or set of activities to be enforceable)
A non-disclosure agreement has specific purposes. First, it creates and fosters trust between businesses who may not know each other. Second, the non-disclosure agreement creates an enforceable right should one party break the trust. Third, the non-disclosure agreement has a persuasive effect, deterring bad actors from disclosing business secrets, where they would in the absence of an NDA.
Call us if you are serious about protecting your business with the investment of a properly drafted tailored non-disclosure agreement.
Let's talk. Your business uses information you need to keep confidential. Don't presume it will be kept confidential without planning customized to your specific risks.
