Great topic!
I’m a fan of - this form of Information loaded - short videos. Thanks very much!
Awesome explanation!
Thanks Laura, that was really very insightful
This is super helpful. Would suggest you make this into a "How to deal with NDAs" TH-cam playlist as it'd help understand the order of these videos. Especially if they aren't starting with "Why NDAs Matter in the Real World"
Great video. Though your content quality is very good , you are not getting enough views . It is because of the lacking of the SEO of your video. your video SEO score is very low. You should do the SEO of your videos to get more views.
You're the best, Laura!
@tiffanysafforld2685 Thanks! I appreciate you saying that. :)
I avoid: Residual, privacy, non-solicitation, Indemnity, LOL, indefinite term, immediate actions clauses. Thanks for this video.
Laura, this is really actionable and defensible guidance. I was just remarking 2 days ago to some colleagues about how I came across a counter-party's NDA that was seeking indemnification and non-solicitation commitments. How de ja vu to see exactly these points addressed and validated by your video. Another point that has consistently troubled me (more generally beyond NDAs) is how indemnification is used. I thought its appropriate use is where the indemnitee wants the indemnitor to indemnify the indemnitee against third party actions that are triggered due to the indemnitor's breach of the commercial agreement between the indemnitee and indemnitor. I have always wondered whether it is appropriate or even meaningful to seek indemnifications in relation to the contracting party's direct breach itself since that liability is likely to be disputed and litigated anyway - perhaps the indemnity would at most be useful in the measure and extent of damages? I wonder if you might share your views on this topic sometime.
I love it
Thank you!!!
Extremely useful and insightful. Even for someone like me (not an attorney). Helps me understand when to request an NDA to slow down a deal vs its future-proofing benefits.
Thank you so much for your super kind words!
You never define what an NDA is. People like you are so immersed in your field, you forget that others don’t use your initialisms.
Thanks for pointing that out! An NDA is a non-disclosure agreement. It's the agreement we sign with counterparties when we are in the early stages of discussing a business relationship. In an NDA, the parties agree that they will not use or disclose the other party's confidential information. Most US companies enter into more NDAs than any other type of signed contract for the reasons I highlight in the video.
Love the video Laura!!! Super insightful!!
Thank you very much!
Great foundation. I hope to see selection of governing law in your next video. Does State vs state within the US really matter?
Thanks! I appreciate you posting that. The whole governing law decision is a challenge even for most US lawyers. I'm working on a list of videos to do and I will definitely cover this subject in a future video. It may not be in the next one, but in a future one for sure.
Thank you for sharing this informative video on NDAs! Your practical approach and emphasis on understanding the significance of NDAs are really helpful. Looking forward to your next video on essentials of NDAs! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much! Next video coming soon!
Thanks so much! I'm so glad it's helpful. I'll be posting more soon.
The main question is, what exactly presents from Santa's workshop could be considered as controlled under EAR or ITAR if Santa doesn't involve US items/technology/services/software, etc., for manufacturing gifts (toys for little kids with good behaviour and intentions (are not under sanctions 😂))?
This is such a great interview! Well done!
