Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreements (NDAs)

Law Tram simplifies non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement matters by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can draft, review and explain agreements designed to protect sensitive information. This fully online and obligation-free service helps you understand key clauses, risks and legal obligations before sharing confidential material.

Protect sensitive information before you share it

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement, is a legal contract that protects your confidential business information, trade secrets, or intellectual property when sharing it with others. NDAs are essential when negotiating partnerships, engaging contractors, or discussing potential investments.

An NDA sets clear rules on what information can be shared, how it must be protected, and the consequences if confidentiality is breached. Without one, your valuable ideas and data could be exposed or misused.

Law Tram connects you with experienced commercial lawyers who can draft or review NDAs to safeguard your business information and reduce legal risk.
