What is a NDA?
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a contract that protects confidential information shared between two or more parties. It defines what counts as confidential, how it can be used, who it can be shared with, and what happens if the receiving side leaks it.
Who needs one in Delaware?
Founders pitching investors, companies hiring contractors, partners exploring a deal, employers protecting trade secrets, and anyone sharing sensitive product, customer, or financial information.
What a Delaware NDA must cover
- Clear definition of what is — and isn't — confidential information
- Permitted purpose (the narrow reason the information is being shared)
- Standard carve-outs (publicly known, independently developed, required by law)
- Term length and how long the confidentiality obligation survives
- Return or destruction of information when the relationship ends
- Remedies and the right to injunctive relief
- Governing law and venue clauses specific to Delaware
Why attorney review matters in Delaware
NDAs are often signed in a hurry and almost never read carefully — which is exactly when bad clauses slip through. Delaware courts have specific rules on how long confidentiality obligations can last, what counts as a reasonable scope, and when non-solicit or non-compete language tucked inside an NDA becomes unenforceable. A licensed attorney reviews every Nexora draft against Delaware case law before it's delivered.
Delaware-specific note
Delaware is the default choice of law for most US business contracts and the home jurisdiction for venture-backed corporations. Even non-Delaware businesses often choose Delaware law and Court of Chancery venue.

FAQ
Can I use the same NDA in every state?
You can, but it's risky. Confidentiality term limits, restrictive-covenant rules, and venue/forum requirements differ by state. A Delaware-specific NDA holds up better if you ever need to enforce it.
Mutual or one-way NDA?
Use a mutual NDA when both sides might share confidential information (most partnerships, M&A talks). Use a one-way NDA when only one side has secrets to protect (e.g. you're pitching an investor).
