oneNDA crowd-sourced, open-source Non Disclosure Agreement ➲ 3 Page [Global]

What is oneNDA?

oneNDA is a crowd-sourced, open-source non disclosure agreement that has been created by the legal community. And it’s entirely free to use.

Why use oneNDA?

If we all started from the same NDA template, we would save enormous amounts of time, money and effort.

No more battle of the forms and no more negotiating terms that are not market standard or add little to no value.

Businesses would be able to get to the commercial deal quicker and lawyers would have more time to spend time on the more strategic work.

Who drafted oneNDA?

oneNDA has gone through an extensive drafting process with leading law firms and in-house lawyers from around the world.

It’s been a collaborative process and no one firm or company is responsible for the drafting.

None of the law firms involved were engaged by The Law Boutique (TLB) to give legal advice - all their time was kindly volunteered.

The participating law firms haven’t assumed a duty of care or approved the final draft and therefore are not professionally responsible to you.

You should speak to a lawyer if you have any doubts as to whether the oneNDA is appropriate for you and your circumstances.

In addition to oneNDA's adoption by Blue Ocean Law Group, oneNDA has been adopted by some big names… PwC, UBS, Revolut, EasyJet, Cazoo, American Express, Checkout.com, Bosch, Capgemini, Panasonic, Secret Escapes…

Here is a link to an online spreadsheet of 638+ companies (and growing) who have adopted oneNDA.

Adopt oneNDA. It’s the right thing to do.

Here’s why: Less than 1% of NDAs ever get litigated. And if they do, they’re almost impossible to enforce.

The ROI is not proportionate to the effort we expend on them.

They cost companies millions every year - money they could spending on better, more important things.

Adopting oneNDA is free and always will be.

Lots of other amazing companies have already adopted it which means it’s a goodie. NDAs are super boring.

Lawyers didn’t study to law to review NDAs.

The business will not thank you if you redline the heck out of an NDA.

By adopting oneNDA you become cooler than those who have not adopted oneNDA.

oneNDA is a movement and by adopting it, you’re helping transform the world of law.

Visit Claustack

Claustack is a natural evolution of all the things we set out to do, from TLB, where our mission is to optimise the way in-house Legal works, to oneNDA where our mission is to create a universal NDA standard, Claustack is the culmination of all our initiatives to date and brings together the elements that we think the legal community needs to propel the profession forward.

We understand that using a Full-form Confidentiality Agreement is not always possible

When the commercial circumstances require it, we recommend that you use our Full-form Confidentiality Agreement.

However, we also understand that sometimes this is just not possible ➲ e.g., the recipient of the confidential information is in a powerful position and simply refuses to sign a full-form Confidentiality Agreement, the disclosing party strategically chooses not to advance a full-length, detailed Confidentiality Agreement in order to keep the momentum of the negotiations moving forward as fast as possible.

We now provide you with two alternatives, this oneNDA (3 page) or our extremely popular 1-page NDA (both are FREE).

Legal Review

We strongly recommend you request our Legal Team review this oneNDA before it is signed.

Clearly Mark "Confidential"

Once the recipient has signed the oneNDA clearly mark anything that you share under the oneNDA as ”Confidential”.
