ABSTRACT

As the negotiation phase commences the draft of a contract start to emerge from the preliminary discussions. Contracts can be simple or extremely complex and as result the clarity and continuity of language with its negotiated intent is imperative at all stages during the construction of contract. While every document should be read by a single individual for continuity, the meaning of each phrase and each clause should be discussed by a review group sitting together. Confidential disclosure agreement is worth noting that the agreement should ideally cover only the subjects and material which are actually secret. A great many confidential disclosure agreement (CDAs) are drafted very broadly and as a result, if they were to come to court, would be very hard to enforce. Narrowing the scope of the protection to, say, the intellectual property (IP) or trade secrets and specific facts or features will make the agreement much more effective for the purpose and also easier to agree.
