Mutual Confidentiality (Non-Disclosure Agreement)

A Mutual NDA establishes reciprocal obligations to protect proprietary and confidential information. This playbook addresses definition scope, duration, and permitted disclosure exceptions.

Dispute Resolution

Why This Matters: A defined resolution path reduces uncertainty, limits legal costs, and preserves business continuity in the event of conflicts.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Disclosing Party A:

Advocate for arbitration to ensure a private and potentially faster resolution process. Ensure the arbitration body and rules are favorable to your interests.

If you're the Disclosing Party B:

Push for litigation if you prefer a public forum and the possibility of appeal. Verify the jurisdiction is convenient and favorable.

Essential elements

1

Method of Resolution

Arbitration or litigation specified.
2

Venue Selection

Location for dispute resolution.
3

Cost Allocation

How costs are divided.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the method, rules, or venue are not specified or unfavorable.

EDIT

Reject if the clause lacks clarity or imposes unreasonable burdens.

ADD

Add language specifying arbitration as preferred, with litigation as fallback.

PRO TIP

Always ensure the dispute resolution method aligns with your company's risk tolerance and policy.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Clear Arbitration Clause

"All disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce."
NEUTRAL

"Disputes will be resolved in the courts of New York."
UNFAVORABLE

"Parties will resolve disputes as they see fit."

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, specify arbitration to ensure confidentiality and a quicker resolution process.

Cross-Border Transactions

For cross-border deals, choose arbitration to avoid jurisdictional issues and ensure enforceability.

Long-Term Contracts

In long-term contracts, consider a tiered approach starting with mediation, then arbitration or litigation.
