Who is this webinar for?
This is an online interactive workshop for all those freelancers whose clients ask them to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs).
Why do you need to attend this webinar?
Most of us get asked by our clients to sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect their confidentiality. But NDAs clauses try to impose restrictions and limitations on important aspects related to our business, such as:
- Where we work
- How long we can work
- Who we can work for/ with
- Destruction of all materials related to the job once the job is completed
NDAs also seek to impose sanctions for breach of confidentiality.
This webinar will help you to understand these serious legal matters so that you can be clear about what you commit to when you sign NDAs.
What will be covered:
You will learn about the purpose of an NDA, the typical content of an NDA and its implications. Importantly, you will learn about the reasonableness test: what the courts consider unreasonable as regards certain fetters on our working conditions (for example not to work in a particular subject area for the next 10 years).
What is included in this course?
You will first hear a presentation by Sue Leschen, lawyer-linguist, and will then be invited to reveal their NDA dilemmas to the workshop group for constructive discussion. Sue will provide advice on which clauses we should sign as well as those we should seek to renegotiate and will also touch on relevant unfair contract terms and data protection law.
