What is a mutual NDA?

A mutual NDA (bilateral NDA) is a confidentiality agreement where both parties agree to protect each other's confidential information. Both parties are simultaneously disclosing and receiving parties, making it ideal for partnerships, joint ventures, and business negotiations.

When should I use a mutual vs one-way NDA?

Use a mutual NDA when both parties will share confidential information - such as in partnerships, joint ventures, or merger discussions. Use a one-way NDA when only one party shares secrets - such as with employees, contractors, or investors evaluating your company.

Is this bilingual NDA enforceable in Russia?

Yes, properly drafted bilingual NDAs are enforceable in Russia. Russian courts recognize confidentiality agreements under the Civil Code and Federal Law No. 98-FZ on Commercial Secrets. Having a Russian language version helps with enforcement in Russian courts.
