Non-Disclosure, Confidentiality & Non-Disparagement Advice and Agreements
Non-disclosure, confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses are prevalent in employment contracts. But do you fully understand what it is you could be agreeing to? Our team of Calgary employment lawyers can help break down the fine print.
What is a non-disclosure agreement?
In the employment world, non-disclosure agreements are commonly referred to as NDA’s. NDA’s are restrictive covenants aimed to prevent employees from revealing sensitive information to competitors. These clauses often become an issue when an employee decides to seek similar employment with another company.
In a nutshell, employers use NDA’s as a workplace intimidation tactic to prevent their staff from working with a rival business. But these agreements are often too broad or poorly written. They include unrealistic terms that are difficult to enforce.
Our team of Calgary employment lawyers can shed light on the details of your NDA. We’ll help you understand what you can and cannot share with your new employer.
