Introduction

As businesses increasingly rely on digital advancements, the sharing of confidential information is becoming more frequent. In such an environment, understanding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) has never been more critical. Authense Law Firm, situated in the Minato ward of Tokyo, is offering an archival replay of its highly regarded webinar series titled "All About Contract Practice - Volume 2: Non-Disclosure Agreements". This archive will be available for those who missed the live broadcast on September 24, 2025.

Importance of NDAs

With the growth of new business ventures, partnerships, and M&A activities, companies are at greater risk of leaking sensitive information. Often, NDAs are viewed as mere formalities, leading to contracts being executed without sufficient review. This oversight can result in significant disadvantages should information leaks or disputes arise. The legal landscape surrounding the protection of trade secrets is also evolving, with recent amendments to the Unfair Competition Prevention Act and stringent personal data protection laws.

Topics include defining confidential information, setting retention periods, calculating damages, and the efficacy of injunction claims. The session aims to equip participants with practical insights necessary for reviewing and drafting effective NDAs.
