GLS Checklist: Confidentiality Clause

US$99

The Problem: You need to review/prepare a Confidentiality Clause.

You need to know what to look for when reviewing a confidentiality clause.

Related challenges include: 

  • the confidentiality clause may look standard but still expose your business to unnecessary legal or commercial risk
  • you may not know whether the clause properly restricts how the other party can use your confidential information
  • you may not realise the clause allows disclosure to affiliates, contractors or advisers far too broadly
  • you may miss exclusions which significantly weaken the protection applying to your information
  • you may not know whether the confidentiality obligations apply equally to both parties
  • you may agree to confidentiality periods that are too short for your business circumstances
  • you may not identify where the clause overlaps with intellectual property or data protection issues
  • you may not realise the clause permits retention of your confidential information after discussions end
  • you may assume confidentiality clauses are low risk because they are common in commercial agreements
  • you may not know what positions are market standard versus what positions should be negotiated or rejected
