Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

What is a non-disclosure agreement?

A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a contract that legally binds parties to keep specified information confidential. A well-drafted NDA defines what counts as confidential, how it can be used, how long the duty lasts, and what happens if it is breached — protecting your ideas, data, and relationships.

What a strong NDA defines

A useful NDA does more than say "keep this secret." It typically addresses:

  1. Confidential information — A clear definition of what is and isn't protected.
  2. Permitted use — What the recipient may do with the information.
  3. Carve-outs — Standard exceptions, such as information that is already public or independently developed.
  4. Term — How long the confidentiality duty lasts.
  5. Remedies — What happens if the agreement is breached.

How to get started

  1. Identify the relationship. Decide whether you need a one-way or mutual NDA.
  2. List what you're protecting. Know the specific information at stake before drafting.
  3. Avoid generic templates. A mismatched template can be unenforceable or overbroad.
  4. Have it reviewed before signing. A short review catches the terms that matter most.

How it works

We draft and review NDAs on a flat fee, so you know the cost before we start. Each agreement is tailored to the relationship — mutual or one-way, standalone or part of a larger deal — and written in plain language you can use again. If you're reviewing an NDA someone sent you, we'll flag the terms worth pushing back on before you sign.
