Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements (general commercial) toolkit
A toolkit that provides a collection of Practical Law resources on managing confidentiality and non-disclosure in a general commercial setting within the private sector. It outlines key materials for drafting various confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), including mutual, one-way and multi-party arrangements, and where some of the confidential information constitutes personal data. The toolkit directs users to practice notes, standard documents and clauses tailored for different parties, such as pro-discloser or pro-recipient. Resources within this toolkit also cover confidentiality in other common transactions, such as corporate acquisitions, international joint ventures and those involving intellectual property, know-how and patents. It also includes resources to be used when a potential breach of confidence occurs.
