Document background
The Mutual Confidentiality And Non Circumvention Agreement is essential for businesses operating under English and Welsh law who are entering into discussions or negotiations where sensitive information will be shared. This document is particularly crucial when parties need to protect their business interests, intellectual property, and relationship networks. It combines traditional confidentiality provisions with specific clauses preventing parties from bypassing each other to directly approach contacts or opportunities discovered through their relationship. The agreement is commonly used in business negotiations, joint ventures, investment discussions, and strategic partnerships.
