“When clients ask for NDAs, their needs vary widely:

-Some just need non-disclosure to safeguard trade secrets.

-Others may require a one-way NDA, while some need two-way protection.

-Ownership of ideas, a critical detail, is often overlooked.

Different situations call for different approaches—whether it’s a joint venture, investor meeting, employment, contractor agreement, or working with a manufacturer.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution:

-Some clients want ironclad agreements that involve extensive attorney negotiation.

-Others prefer a simple, straightforward, ‘un-lawyered’ one-page document.

This is why we don’t just hand out templates.

Additionally, sometimes an NDA isn’t enough. While NDAs are valuable and should be used when possible, they can’t match the protection a provisional patent application offers for patentable ideas.

In fact, provisionals can often eliminate the need for an NDA altogether!

If you’re considering an NDA, let’s talk about your specific needs first.”
