Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)

Confidentiality well arranged

When you share confidential information with another party, for example, during a collaboration, investment, acquisition, or product development, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is essential. This prevents sensitive information from being unwantedly shared or misused.

For entrepreneurs, SMEs, and rapidly growing companies, an NDA is an important tool to protect their competitive position, intellectual property, and trade secrets. A verbal agreement is not sufficient: only a written contract provides enforceable protection.

What does a non-disclosure agreement cover?

An NDA includes provisions regarding:

• What is considered confidential (information, documents, data)
• Who is obligated to maintain confidentiality
• The purpose for which the information may be used
• Duration of the confidentiality obligation
• Exceptions, such as information that is already public
• Sanctions for violations, including fines or compensation

The agreement can be mutual (both parties share information) or unilateral (one party provides information). Depending on the situation, additional provisions may be necessary, such as regarding retention periods, return obligations, or data destruction.
