NDA Template for New York (US)
NDAs in New York are governed by New York contract law and, for federal trade secret protection, the Defend Trade Secrets Act 2016 (DTSA). New York courts will enforce NDAs that are reasonable in scope — overly broad agreements may be blue-pencilled rather than voided.
New York (US)-specific legal consideration
The federal Defend Trade Secrets Act 2016 (DTSA) requires that NDAs include an immunity notice for whistleblower disclosures — failure to include this notice limits the employer's remedies in federal trade secret litigation.
