What Happens After A Confidentiality Agreement Is Signed?

After a confidentiality agreement has been signed, it should be kept somewhere that is safe and accessible by both parties. If the relationship has ended or the employer is concerned that the employee is using or sharing confidential information, then the employee should be reminded that the confidentiality agreement prohibits them from doing that. If things do not change after that, then the employer should put in writing their concern that there has been a breach of the agreement. Strong wording should be used with regard to the consequences of continuing such behavior and the request for the return of that information.

Is There Anything Else That I Should Consider To Protect My Proprietary Information?

Sensitive documents that should only be viewed by certain members of a team should be stored on a company’s system with restricted access. This preventative measure would strengthen the enforceability of the non-competition agreement; if everyone had access to what the employer believes is confidential information, the employer’s argument for its status as confidential would be diluted. The old-fashioned method of storing confidential documents is to store them in a safe. In addition, specifying and making very clear what is and what is not confidential information is very important.
