Regardless of the NDA’s intended use, our lawyers and legal consultants make sure a non-disclosure agreement contains the key components of the contract, including the following:
An NDA our lawyers draft specify the kinds or categories of information that are included in the contract without leaking the specific information.
Our non-disclosure agreements also include information that is already considered by all concerned parties as common knowledge.
NDAs outline a time period wherein the signatory is required to keep any information specified in the legal documents confidential until their expiry. This provision is often up for negotiation.
In this section, our lawyers help clients spell out what’s expected for all those involved. For instance, it is prohibited to breach the agreement, persuade others in breaching the agreement, and help others in accessing the confidential information.
Some courts have issues with standard provisions included in NDAs from non-disclosure templates found online, especially those that include “any or all information.” This is often unenforceable as the language is overly broad.
