Protecting confidential information: overview | Practical Law
A note summarising the main considerations for protecting confidential information in a commercial setting. It also sets out how the law of confidentiality and the separate cause of action for misuse of private information differ and may interact (but it does not cover privacy law). It also includes practical tips for protecting confidential information (including before a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is in place, as well as additional measures to mitigate the limitations of NDAs).
