NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)

An NDA is a contract that binds parties to keep shared confidential information secret — the standard prelude to discussing an unlaunched product, financials, or trade secrets with an outside partner. A useful NDA defines precisely what counts as confidential, for how long, and what happens on breach. We'll sign one before deep technical discussions whenever a client asks; it's a routine professional courtesy.
