Non-compete and non-disclosure agreements restrict certain activities to protect confidential information during employment and transitions.
California rules influence enforceability, so terms must be carefully drafted and reviewed.
Non-compete clauses limit competition after employment within a defined scope, while non-disclosure agreements require recipients to keep specified information confidential and use it only for agreed purposes.
Key elements include scope, duration, definitions of confidential information, permitted disclosures, and remedies; the process covers drafting, review, negotiation, and implementation.

An NDA is a contract that requires the recipient to keep certain information confidential and to use it only for agreed purposes. It helps protect sensitive data, client lists, and trade secrets. The terms should be clear about what is confidential and who may access it.
California places limits on non-compete clauses, particularly for general employment. Some restricted circumstances may apply, but drafting carefully and reviewing local rules is essential.
A well drafted NDA defines confidential information, lists permitted disclosures, and sets the duration of protection. It may include exceptions for legally required disclosures and standard remedies for breaches.
In California, non-compete duration is often limited and highly dependent on context. We tailor terms to lawful, narrowly tailored timeframes where possible.
Confidential information includes trade secrets, client lists, pricing, strategies, and other data that the owner treats as confidential and protects with reasonable care.
