FAQ

An NDA constitutes a legally binding agreement, albeit without the same level of scrutiny as a non-compete clause. It solely restricts the use of information rather than overall competition. Typically, the agreement will specify that the employer is entitled to injunctive relief in the event of a breach.

Every lawyer who is engaged in the practice of law in this Commonwealth and who holds trust property in connection with a representation shall maintain contemporaneous and complete records of the receipt, maintenance, and disposition of that trust property, including all records required by this paragraph.

Whereas confidentiality agreements are typically devised in employment or personal situations to protect sensitive information, NDAs are often used in business and legal settings to protect trade secrets, client lists, and financial data.

A lawyer shall not reveal confidential information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation or the disclosure is permitted by paragraph (b).

Model Rule 1.13(a) and (f) (2002) make explicit a lawyer's duty to be both forthright about whom the lawyer represents, and be diligent in his or her analysis of any existing or potential conflicts of interest.

You do not need a lawyer to create and sign a non-disclosure agreement. However, if the information you are trying to protect is important enough to warrant an NDA, you may want to have the document reviewed by someone with legal expertise.

Typically, a legal professional writing the NDA will complete these steps: Step 1 - Describe the scope. Which information is considered confidential? ... Step 2 - Detail party obligations. Step 3 - Note potential exclusions. Step 4 - Set the term. Step 5 - Spell out consequences.
