NDAs & Confidentiality Agreements
Protect your trade secrets, pitch decks, and proprietary know-how before they leave the room. We draft enforceable NDAs that hold up when your confidential information is at risk.
Do You Actually Need This?
Disclosing your ideas without an NDA is the fastest way to lose control of them.
You are entering investor or partnership discussions
Sharing revenue projections, product roadmaps, or proprietary data without a signed NDA gives the other party full legal freedom to use that information — including to compete against you.
Your employees handle sensitive business information
Without a confidentiality clause in their employment or contractor agreement, departing employees can freely share your trade secrets, client lists, and internal processes.
A vendor or agency needs access to proprietary systems
Every third party with access to your infrastructure, source code, or business data is a confidentiality risk. Vendor NDAs establish clear legal obligations before access is granted.
Your NDA was downloaded from the internet
Generic NDA templates often contain overbroad or unenforceable definitions of confidential information, missing carve-outs for independently developed information, and jurisdiction mismatches.

Your Questions Answered
No — courts in California, Ontario, and Quebec regularly refuse to enforce NDAs where the definition of "confidential information" is so broad it captures publicly available or independently developed information. Precision matters.
Most commercial NDAs run for 2–5 years from the date of signing or from the last disclosure. Perpetual NDAs are increasingly disfavored by courts — a defined term with a trade-secret carve-out is the better approach.
No — an NDA protects confidential information, not employment mobility. Non-compete provisions are a separate clause and are strictly limited or outright unenforceable in California, Ontario, and Quebec. We advise on what is legally permissible in your jurisdiction.
A master confidentiality agreement with a counterpart signature page is a common and efficient solution for repeat vendor relationships. It avoids renegotiating terms while still creating a signed, binding obligation for each relationship.
Breach of an NDA entitles you to seek injunctive relief (a court order stopping the disclosure) and damages. The strength of your remedy depends entirely on how well the NDA was drafted — vague NDAs are difficult and expensive to enforce.
