NDAs
Sharing sensitive information? Protect it before the conversation starts.
NDAs (Non‑Disclosure Agreements) play a crucial role whenever you need to disclose confidential information to a third party, whether you’re exploring investment, negotiating with suppliers, discussing a new partnership or protecting valuable intellectual property.
What risks do NDAs help you avoid?
Once information is shared, it’s difficult to control how it’s used. A precisely written NDA ensures that:
- Your confidential information is not shared without permission
- Sensitive data cannot be used for competing or unauthorised purposes
- You have clear legal remedies if a breach occurs
- Both sides understand exactly what must remain confidential
It creates a legal boundary before any discussions begin.
One way or mutual? Getting the structure right matters.
Different situations require different types of NDAs. We tailor agreements to reflect the flow of information, including:
- One‑way NDAs, where only one party is disclosing information
- Mutual NDAs, where both parties are exchanging confidential material
We ensure the scope, exclusions, duration and enforcement provisions are appropriate for your specific circumstances.
