NDAs & Confidentiality in California

What is NDAs & Confidentiality?

A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) restricts how confidential information can be used or disclosed. It defines what counts as confidential, what the receiving party can do with it, how long the obligation lasts, and what remedies apply if it is breached. NDAs come in one-way, mutual, and multi-party forms.

How Sari Law Firm helps

We draft NDAs calibrated to the situation: scope of confidential information, permitted use, residuals carve-out, term of obligation, return-or-destroy requirements, exceptions for legally compelled disclosure, and remedies (injunctive relief, attorney's fees). We also review counterparty-supplied NDAs and flag the clauses that need negotiation before signing, over-broad scope, perpetual term, restrictive use clauses.
