FAQ
A confidentiality agreement should include the names and addresses of the parties to the contract. Consider also including: Reason for the agreement: Explain why you're sharing this information. The information disclosed: Be specific about the subject matter and what exactly is included in the agreement.
MINN. STAT. § 181.988 takes effect July 1, 2023 and essentially bans new employee non-competes and the use of foreign (i.e., non-Minnesota) choice of law and forum selection clauses in any agreements between employers and employees or independent contractors.
Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are agreements in contract law where parties agree that certain information will remain confidential. As such, an NDA binds a person who has signed it and prevents them from discussing any information included in the contract with anyone not authorized by the NDA.
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.
If you need an NDA, looking at templates online isn't a bad place to start, but ideally you should work with a lawyer who can write a simple NDA for you or tweak the one you have. You may be able to find someone in your community who can do it for a few hundred bucks.
Noncompetes banned: Noncompete and restrictive-franchise provisions in nearly all employee agreements are banned. (both already in effect). The 2024 legislative session went further and banned restrictive employment covenants in service contracts.
In Minnesota, the new law prohibits enforcement of non-competes entered into after July 1, 2023, but leaves existing agreements in place for the nearly 300,000 Minnesotans we estimate had a non-compete before the law passed.
Most NDAs will have the specific penalties for violation laid out in their terms, which lets you know up-front what will happen should you break it. And, just as with any other breach of contract, it is possible that your employer will sue you in order to recoup the damages that your breach caused.
Yes, you can. NDA can be made between individuals like you would between independent contractors.
In a mutual NDA, by contrast, both parties agree not to reveal each other's confidential information. While the unilateral NDA is a one-way street, an MNDA creates a confidential relationship where information is protected by both parties.
