Confidentiality Agreements

Most businesses have all kinds of commercial information and documents that they wish to keep confidential. This is increasingly the case given the importance of intellectual property and technical knowledge to many modern businesses. However, it is often necessary for a business to work with third parties, such as sub-contractors or marketing companies, and for commercially sensitive information to be made available as part of a project.

Before any confidential information is passed on, it is essential that a confidentiality agreement (sometimes called a non-disclosure agreement) is prepared and signed by all parties. The agreement should carefully outline the reasons why the information is being provided and limit the way in which it can be used and by whom. 

Borneos prepares specific confidentiality agreements tailored to your precise requirements. This ensures that information is properly protected and that the third party receiving the information knows exactly how it must be treated.

You might be asked to sign confidentiality agreements by other businesses and we can advise you on any changes necessary to ensure that an agreement is not overly resrictive.  Where possible we try to make the undertakings reciprocal so that confidential information flowing both ways is protected.
