Non-Disclosure Agreements are among the most common agreements that come up against an in-house lawyer`s table. In the construction industry, NDAs are used in many such contexts. B that limiting access to a confidential request for the proposal, pre-discussion of an asset purchase or protecting proprietary information shared with a subcontractor. Despite the differences, the main purpose of an NOA is to protect information that one or both parties do not want to make public or share with competitors. There are certain things that NDAs cannot do, such as.B. Protect generally known or known information from public sources, and exclusions such as these are generally understood and accepted by practitioners. Simple confidentiality agreement – This agreement is very linear and simple. It was designed primarily to be used by a person who wishes to disclose information that must be kept secret to another person. But the recent problem of confidentiality agreements raises another question: Can White House employees be bound by these agreements as soon as they leave the government, even for unclassified materials? As the Washington Post reports, NDAs extend to former employees and impose severe penalties for violations. In Snepp v.

the United States in 1980, the Supreme Court upheld restrictions on federal government employees working with classified information. In that case, the judges ruled that a former CIA agent, Frank Snepp III, violated his agreement with the agency by publishing a book on CIA activities in southern Vietnam, without the CIA first authorizing its disclosures. The court directed the former agent`s profits to a trust for the government. Former employees who disclose classified information may also be prosecuted. Standard Confidentiality Agreement – This agreement is a more traditional agreement that includes what companies would normally expect in a confidentiality agreement, and is more comprehensive than one of the simple agreements mentioned above. It would be appropriate to use the situation in which the recipient of the confidential information is a natural or well-established entity or group of companies. It is increasingly common for non-competition bans to be buried in AIF. While this is more common in NDAs in the context of acquisitions and in the employment context, these provisions may also appear in team agreements. The existence of a non-competition clause requires a separate examination of applicability, in accordance with the legislation, on the basis of duration and geographical scope. The author proposes that an NDA with a non-competition clause be renamed the “Non-Disclosure and Non-Compete Agreement” so that the restrictive intent of the agreement is clear in advance.
