Confidentiality Agreement

As part of our mission to provide affordable options for those who need a confidentiality agreement, our qualified barristers have prepared this downloadable confidentiality template. Our legal templates are an option for those who do not want to instruct a barrister to draft a confidentiality agreement document from scratch.

Confidentiality agreements, also known as non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), are essential legal documents in the UK for protecting sensitive information shared between parties. These agreements establish a confidential relationship and outline the obligations of the parties to keep information confidential and to restrict its use.

 

To meet UK legal requirements, confidentiality agreements must clearly define the confidential information covered, specify the duration of confidentiality obligations, and outline permissible disclosures (such as to authorized personnel or for legal purposes). They should also address exceptions to confidentiality, such as information already in the public domain or independently developed by the receiving party. Additionally, confidentiality agreements should be drafted in clear and unambiguous language to ensure enforceability in court. Adhering to these requirements helps safeguard proprietary information and mitigates the risk of unauthorised disclosure or misuse.
