About this episode

* Do you understand when you should use non-disclosure agreements to protect your business? * Do you know the key issues you should consider including in a non-disclosure agreement? * Do you understand the key provisions that are often contained in non-disclosure agreements? * Do you understand the risks of pulling a non-disclosure agreement off the Internet or re-using old forms? * Do you understand why “one size fits all” should not apply to non-disclosure agreements? * Do you understand the other issues that may affect your rights that are sometimes included in non-disclosure agreements? Part II of this podcast series covers non-disclosure agreements, also called confidentiality agreements in detail. You will learn the circumstances under which NDAs are used, from employment agreements to merger and acquisition negotiations. You will learn the key provisions that are often included in NDAs, and how the provisions can protect trade secrets and other confidential information. You will learn how those provisions can differ depending on the business or general approach of your company. You will learn which key terms are often the subject of negotiations. You will learn what other provisions are sometimes included in NDA forms, such as invention assignment agreements, that may affect your rights beyond the protection of confidential information. You will learn the typical obligations that exist during and after the term of the NDA. Throughout the podcast, you will learn why “one size fits all” does not apply to non-disclosure agreements and the risks of pulling forms off the Internet or re-using someone else’s form without understanding the details. John Watkins and Tom McLain, Shareholders of Chorey, Taylor & Feil, a Professional Corporation, in Atlanta, take you through all of these issues. Although the discussion is based on Georgia law, and is not legal advice (which must always be tailored to your particular circumstances under a formal engagement), the podcast will provide the background to understand these issues better and to work with your own counsel in your own state.
