Legal support for drafting, reviewing, negotiating and amending NDAs that protect confidential business information and define how it may be used or disclosed.
Confidential Consultation · EN, AR & RU
Confidential information can lose its commercial value when the parties are unclear about what may be shared, used or retained.
Our lawyers prepare and review NDAs that define confidentiality obligations before sensitive information is exchanged.
A non-disclosure agreement sets out how confidential information may be accessed, used, protected and disclosed between the parties.
We advise businesses, investors, founders and counterparties on drafting, reviewing, negotiating and amending NDAs to reflect the information being shared and the commercial relationship involved.
Under the UAE Civil Transactions Law, unauthorised use or disclosure of confidential information obtained through negotiations or a contract may give rise to liability, making clear confidentiality terms particularly important.
The agreement should reflect what is being disclosed, why it is being shared and what each party may do with it.
Define the business, financial, technical or commercial information that needs protection.
Clarify why the information is being disclosed and how the receiving party may use it.
Set the disclosure restrictions, permitted recipients, exclusions and other protections required for the relationship.
Review, negotiate or amend the NDA so the obligations reflect the transaction and the parties’ agreed position.
Legal support is useful when confidential information will be shared and the parties need clear limits on how it may be used or disclosed.
