A vital asset of any business
There are countless, cheap legal document templates you can find online these days. They are often merely a simple framework and whilst arguably better than nothing, it is the detail (tailored to protect your company) that needs to be correct. The nature of the confidential information needs to be clearly defined and its permitted use precisely set out.
This is a vital aspect of Confidentiality Agreements. Therefore it is important to speak to a solicitor as a template you obtain online is unlikely to be comprehensive enough to protect your business. You should also bear in mind that these agreements are relatively inexpensive to prepare but the cost of not having one can be catastrophic.
What are Confidentiality Agreements used for?
They typically allow you to disclose confidential information for a specific purpose to a third party such as your customers, suppliers or any other persons/organisation you may be considering entering into a joint venture with. In order to protect this confidential information, a Confidentiality Agreement is signed which confirms that the third party must not disclose this information to another party or use the information other than for the agreed specific purpose.
What do Confidentiality Agreements protect?
- Sales and marketing information;
- Protect trade secrets;
- Designs and drawings;
- Consumer data;
- Employment contract restricting employees from disclosing confidential information to competitors
