Why use Confidentiality Agreements?

Confidentiality Agreements (also known as NDAs) are used in corporate and commercial transactions as a preliminary agreement to enable parties to disclose confidential information prior to them discussing the main transaction. By first entering into an NDA, the parties can exchange confidential information with each other with the assurance that, if the negotiations on the main transaction break down, the confidential information which has been disclosed will be protected by a legally enforceable agreement.

Which provisions of this NDA might require negotiation?

There are several provisions of this NDA which the potential recipient of the confidential information may find difficult to accept. These include: non-solicitation covenants restricting the recipient from soliciting the disclosing party’s employees a contractual indemnity for breach of the confidentiality obligations the duration of the agreement The explanatory guidance notes which accompany the document explain how these provisions might be negotiated between the parties to achieve a more balanced position between them.
