    NDA Drafting.

    A non-disclosure agreement protects business information you share with a prospective partner, investor, vendor or consultant. We draft mutual or one-way NDAs that define confidential information precisely, set realistic obligations and term, and cover personal data where it is involved. Most are ready within a day or two; disputes are referred to advocates.

    How it works

    NDA Drafting, step by step.

    Typical timeline

    Typically one to two working days for a standard NDA. It takes longer if the counterparty negotiates, or if personal data or several jurisdictions are involved.

    1. 1

      Purpose and parties

      We note who is disclosing, what is being shared and why, and whether the NDA should be mutual or one-way.

    2. 2

      Drafting the terms

      We define confidential information, permitted use, exclusions, return or destruction, term and remedies, and add data protection terms where personal data is shared under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

    3. 3

      Counterparty comments

      We respond to the other side's mark-up, or review their NDA if they send theirs first.

    4. 4

      Stamping and signing

      We confirm stamp duty under the applicable state law and arrange physical or electronic signatures.

    Before we start

    What we need from you.

    Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

    • Names, addresses and signatories of both parties
    • Purpose of the disclosure and kinds of information involved
    • Counterparty's NDA, if they have proposed one
    • Any preferred term or governing jurisdiction
    How fees work

    The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.

    • Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
    • When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
    FAQs

    Questions about NDA Drafting.

    Generally not. Under section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, agreements that restrain someone from carrying on a lawful business are largely void, so an NDA should protect information rather than try to block competition.
