Types of Non-Disclosure Agreements 

There are many different types of NDAs, each of which has specific use cases. Some of the common kinds of non-disclosure agreements you need to be familiar with include the following: 

• Unilateral NDA: You share confidential information, and the other entity agrees to keep it a secret (or vice versa)  

• Bilateral NDA: Both parties exchange sensitive data and agree to protect it  

• Multilateral NDA: Several parties exchange confidential information, such as in complex mergers   

• Employee Non-Disclosure Agreement: Employees agree to protect company secrets during and after their employment  

Each type of NDA is designed for a specific relationship. For instance, you may use a unilateral NDA if you are sharing proprietary code with a potential investor.  

When Are NDAs Typically Used? 

Non-disclosure agreements are versatile documents that you can use to protect sensitive data in a variety of scenarios. Here are a few examples: 

• Business Negotiations: NDAs keep important information under wraps when discussing M&As or partnerships  

• Employee Onboarding: An employee non-disclosure agreement prevents staff from leaking trade secrets or sensitive information  

• Vendor or Contractor Agreements: Sharing specs or designs with suppliers requires NDAs to prevent misuse of your IP  

• Client Relationships: NDAs protect client data shared during consulting or service agreements  

• Product Development: When collaborating on new products, NDAs safeguard your intellectual property  

NDAs can also be used as part of enforcement action taken during contract and partnership disputes. No matter the context, our non-disclosure agreement lawyers ensure your documents are clear and enforceable.  

The Value of an Attorney When Drafting or Reviewing NDAs 

Drafting a non-disclosure agreement on your own may sound simple. However, even seemingly minor oversights can result in a document that is not enforceable. Every detail matters when drafting an NDA, which is why you should partner with our business attorneys.  

Using an experienced legal professional to draft your confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement also ensures that the contract is legally enforceable. Our non-disclosure agreement attorneys review your NDAs in the context of critical state and federal laws, including the Speak Out Act. Additionally, we will: 

• Ensure a document is enforceable 

• Tailor the NDA to your needs 

• Identify red flags that could increase your risk 

• Save time and reduce stress 

When you work with our firm, you can benefit from a partner who understands what’s at stake and how non-disclosure agreements can protect what you’ve built.

Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Disclosure Agreements  

How Long Does an NDA Typically Last? 

The duration of non-disclosure agreements varies. Forms may last from one to five years or until the information is no longer confidential. We tailor the term to your needs to ensure you are protected as long as necessary.  

Can an NDA Cover Trade Secrets Indefinitely? 

Yes, NDAs can protect trade secrets indefinitely, as long as they remain secret. Our attorneys can include specific clauses to comply with the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act for optimal protection.  

What Happens if Someone Breaches an NDA? 

If someone breaches a non-disclosure agreement, you have several options. Common solutions involve filing an injunction and sending the person a cease-and-desist letter. These steps are meant to mitigate the damage of their violation while buying time for additional action.  

We can also pursue remedies such as damages and legal fees. Our team acts fast to enforce your NDA and minimize the harm to your business.  

Are Verbal NDAs Enforceable in Texas? 

Verbal NDAs are risky and often unenforceable. You should always use a written non-disclosure agreement that has been drafted by a licensed attorney. Our team can create NDAs that are legally binding, which provides recourse should someone violate the agreement.
