Scoping call
30 minutes to settle the structure — mutual or one-way, who is disclosing what, how long the term needs to run, and where you would want to enforce. We confirm the scope before any drafting begins.
NDAs · Mutual and one-way confidentiality
An NDA drafted to your deal — not a swapped-name template.
Most NDAs are templates with the names changed, and the gaps only show up when you try to enforce them. We draft yours from scratch — mutual or one-way, US or international — with a definition of Confidential Information tuned to your specific transaction and proper carve-outs for residuals, prior knowledge, and compelled disclosure. The fee is flat and quoted in writing before work begins, with one round of counterparty revisions included.

How it works
Three steps to a clean, signed NDA.
2
Drafting
Your NDA is drafted to the specific transaction — the definition of Confidential Information, the carve-outs, the term and survival, and the governing-law clause tuned to your deal. The draft lands in your portal for review within 3 business days.
3
Revisions and execution
The counterparty marks it up; we turn one round of revisions within the flat fee. Further rounds are quoted in writing before we start. The final executed copy is delivered to your portal and stored against your matter.
What it costs
A flat fee, quoted up front.
NDA Drafting is $200. A standard NDA is a flat attorney fee, confirmed in writing before any work begins — no per-hour billing and no quote after the fact. It covers the structure scoped to your deal, a definition of Confidential Information tuned to the transaction, the carve-outs, term and survival, governing law, and one round of counterparty revisions. Multi-party NDAs, industry-specific variants, and a negotiation round where the counterparty holds the draft are quoted by scope upfront.
What's included

- Definition of Confidential Information tuned to the specific transaction
- Permitted-purpose, residuals, prior-knowledge, and compelled-disclosure carve-outs

- Standard reps, warranties, and remedies, including injunctive relief and attorney's fees
- One round of counterparty revisions included; further rounds quoted upfront

- Industry-specific NDA (biotech, regulated, M&A)

- Negotiation round when the counterparty holds the draft
- Quoted by scope, upfront
The flat fee covers a standard single-transaction NDA with one round of counterparty revisions; multi-party, industry-specific, and counterparty-negotiation work is quoted by scope before it begins. We draft and advise but do not guarantee a court will enforce any particular clause; the commercial terms are yours to decide, and we coordinate local counsel where a jurisdiction-specific question turns on it.

Brand details
1
Short label for this NDA (e.g. 'ACME-Vendor Due Diligence NDA').
2
Pick the structure that fits. One-way = only one side discloses. Mutual = both sides share.
3
Names + brief description of each party (e.g. 'ACME Inc., a Delaware corp' / 'Jane Smith, individual consultant'). Your side first.
4
What is the information being shared for? (e.g. evaluating a partnership, due diligence, vendor pitch, hiring discussions, M&A exploration).
5
How long the obligations last. 'Perpetual' = no expiry (typical for trade secrets).

Confidential Information defined to your deal
The definition is the heart of an NDA. We tune it to what you are protecting — written materials, oral disclosures, samples, source code — rather than the vague boilerplate a template ships with, which is what tends to give a counterparty room to argue later.
Carve-outs drafted on purpose
Residuals, prior knowledge, independently developed information, and compelled disclosure each shift the balance between discloser and receiver. We draft each carve-out deliberately and tell you which side a given clause favours, so you decide the commercial terms with the trade-offs in front of you.
Term and survival set to the information
How long the obligation runs, and how long it survives termination, depends on what is being protected — a 2-to-5-year term suits most deals, while trade secrets can warrant perpetual obligations. We set the term and survival to the information rather than to a default number.
Governing law tuned to where you'd enforce
An NDA you can't practically enforce is paper. For US or cross-border deals we set the governing-law and jurisdiction clauses to where enforcement would realistically happen, and we coordinate local counsel where a jurisdiction-specific question turns on it.

The timeline
From call to signed NDA in days, not weeks.
Most NDAs are scoped, drafted, and ready to send within the same week. Counterparty revisions are the main variable, so we set expectations up front and turn one round within the flat fee.

NDA Drafting FAQ
Frequently asked questions
If both parties will disclose confidential information — typical for partnerships, M&A discussions, and joint ventures — use a mutual NDA. If only one party is disclosing — typical for hiring a contractor or pitching an investor — a one-way NDA fits. When you are uncertain, mutual is the safer default: it costs the same here and a court tends to treat a balanced agreement as more reasonable.
