Confidentiality and Trade Secrets

Parties can often enter into unsuitable agreements without realising how vital a role they play in the protection of a company’s intangible assets. These underappreciated agreements can sometimes be more valuable that pursuing registerable IP rights or protection of business-critical information. However, particular care is required (in some situations) to ensure that they are not being utilised as a ‘gagging order’.

We have considerable experience in reviewing and drafting confidentiality agreement and non-disclosure agreements to cover various different scenarios across a range of industries and sectors. For example, the financial services sector, life sciences, sports nutrition, fashion, psychometric tests, IT & telecommunications, design agencies, manufacturers, software developers, internet television companies, health care providers and MedTech, social media providers and professional service providers.
