Six modules on how NDAs actually work under Indian law — from choosing the right structure to spotting the clauses that will hurt you. Written for lawyers reviewing their first NDA, founders signing one without counsel, and in-house teams who want to do better than a Google search.
By the end of this course you will be able to identify the right NDA structure for a given situation, draft or critique a definition of confidential information, understand what the non-disclosure and non-use obligations actually require, spot the clauses that regularly cause problems in Indian commercial practice, and know how Indian courts approach NDA enforcement — including the injunction vs damages asymmetry that shapes every negotiation.
Lawyers reviewing their first few NDAs who want a structured foundation. Founders and startup operators who sign NDAs regularly without legal review. In-house counsel and legal ops professionals who want a faster, more confident review process. Business development and M&A professionals who see NDAs as the entry document into every deal.
