WWD Interview: Non-Disclosure Agreements

I’ve been having some fantastic conference calls with several people who are all independent contractors and qualify as Web workers in one form or another. Out of the blue, one of them asked if we’d be offended to sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) for a project she’s working on – and has already discussed with us pretty extensively. We’ve even given her our input on on the project.
Yes, of course, I’ll sign the NDA, I said. I’ll sign it because I want this person to feel comfortable discussing her project openly with all of us. I have no interest – and no capacity – to steal her idea. And I understand that you have to protect your assets.
This got me thinking more about NDAs in more depth. So I turned to a lawyer type to get some inside skinny on NDAs. Here’s my Q&A with Tate Stickles, Attorney at Law at Grossman Law Group in Miami.
