Non-Disclosure Agreements
There are many times during the course of a business’s life cycle, from its earliest conception to its possible sale or dissolution, when it may be necessary to share critical proprietary information with employees, prospective business partners, or other third-parties. The sensitive nature of these disclosures might expose a business to adverse consequences if the information were used improperly or shared with competitors or others who might seek to take advantage of the ill-gotten knowledge. In order to discourage the recipients of vital information from spreading it and to create a mechanism for enforcement, it is often appropriate to have these individuals sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Creating a well-crafted non-disclosure agreement can be essential to your company’s ability to grow and remain protected from the behavior of bad actors. Our business is helping yours.

Information Included in a Non-Disclosure Agreement
No two situations call for the exact same non-disclosure agreement. The information to be shared, the potential consequences of a breach of contract, and other aspects are bound to vary widely. It is important, therefore, to ensure that each agreement is suited to the particular exchange that it is to govern. The following are some of the details that need to be included in a non-disclosure agreement:
- The parties who are entering into the contract
- Specification of the information that is to be considered confidential
- The length of time that the information is to be considered confidential
- Examples of disclosure that may be permissible
- Recourse for violation of the agreement
