Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements

A Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is an agreement between two parties who share confidential information and both agree to keep that information confidential. It is often used by startups that are concerned about sharing too much information with a supplier they have not yet engaged, but it can be used whenever both parties have valuable information they want to protect.

A Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement usually states that both recipients of confidential information must keep it confidential. It also generally specifies that the recipients can only use the information for the purpose for which it was given, for example, to engage in commercial discussions with the discloser, and not for any other purpose.

It also states that the recipients must ensure that any of their employees or advisers keep the information confidential. A Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement can also include IP clauses to make sure the recipient does not gain any IP interest in the discloser's information.

We will draft a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement that is fully customised to your business needs and can be reused for future clients. You will also receive phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer to talk you through the document and answer your questions, as well as one complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide.

Our Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements start at $900 + GST.

Your consultant will then email you a fixed-fee quote setting out the cost, scope and timing. If you're happy with it, you can accept the quote and sign our engagement letter online.

Once you've accepted, one of our Australian-qualified lawyers will work with you to complete your project. They'll contact you by email or phone if they need anything.

Your work is done by our Australian-qualified lawyers, who hold Australian practising certificates and specialise in business law. None of them are New Zealand lawyers or hold a New Zealand practising certificate.

Sprintlaw NZ Limited is a legal consultancy, not a law firm, and is not regulated by the New Zealand Law Society. We don't act in court or tribunal matters, conveyancing (including leases and business sales) or other reserved areas of work. Communications with Sprintlaw are unlikely to be protected by legal professional privilege. We still keep everything confidential under our engagement letter.
