FAQs
How do I protect confidential business information?
Through a combination of contracts and good practice: NDAs and confidentiality clauses with staff, contractors and partners; clear labelling and access controls; and IP clauses that keep ownership with the business. Unlike patents or trade marks, confidential information is protected mainly by keeping it secret and by contract, so the framework you put around it is everything. We help you build it.
What counts as confidential information or a trade secret?
Broadly, commercially valuable information that isn’t public and that you take reasonable steps to keep secret – recipes, formulas, processes, customer lists, pricing, source code, business plans. The law protects it as long as it stays confidential, which is why how you handle and share it matters. We advise on what qualifies and how to safeguard it.
What can I do if an employee or partner leaks confidential information?
If you have confidentiality obligations in place, you may be able to seek an injunction to stop further disclosure and claim damages for losses. Acting quickly is important to limit the harm. We advise on urgent steps and enforcement – and, ideally, help you put watertight confidentiality terms in place before a leak ever happens.
