Non-Disclosure Agreements
Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) protect proprietary information shared with employees, teaming partners, subcontractors and potential investors. In government contracting, an NDA is often the first document signed when companies explore working together.
How we help
- Drafting mutual and one-way NDAs
- NDAs for teaming, subcontracting and joint venture discussions
- Protecting trade secrets and proprietary data, including proper markings
- Employee confidentiality agreements
- Enforcing NDAs and responding to claims of misuse
A compliance point for contractors
Federal law bars contractors from requiring employees to sign confidentiality agreements that restrict them from reporting waste, fraud or abuse to the government (see FAR 52.203-19). Agreements should include the appropriate carve-outs.
