Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreements
Feel secure in entering into business discussions and negotiations knowing that your confidential information is protected.
Businesses that hold confidential information or trade secrets will, at times, need to pass this information on to enable their business to take its next step. Ensure that you have a watertight, legally enforceable non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in place and get the peace of mind you need to make that next move.
Safeguard your confidential information |
Ensure that your business’ confidential information and trade secrets are adequately protected from unauthorised disclosure and use.
Focus on the project rather than potential confidentiality pitfalls |
Knowing that your confidential information is adequately protected can provide you with the assurance required to enable you to take the next step with your project or third-party relationship.
Clarity as to what constitutes confidential information |
Having a clear definition of what constitutes confidential information and the purposes for its use results in certainty for all parties concerned and reinforces the significance of that information to the third party and its advisers.
Save time and money |
By focussing on market practice, sector-specific practicalities and preparing a fair and reasonable NDA, both you and the third party can avoid unnecessary costs and delays. Plus, you’ll maintain a proactive, amicable relationship from the outset.
Specific options if the project fails |
Outlining the steps to be taken by both parties in respect of the confidential information, if the project does not move forward, will assist in a clean break and avoid unnecessary discussions and potential contractual disputes.

Stephen was very helpful, pragmatic and where appropriate, entertaining.
