It's only in those moments where you find yourself caught that you realize the only way to not get caught is to pay attention to this stuff on the front end."- Chris Griffin"If someone's pushing you to rush and sign something, that's all the more reason not to. 'I've gotta get my bid in 24 hours.' Well, why are you calling me now?"- Rob Cohen"You also have to look at whether the agreement was reasonable in the first place. Rather than just applying to one party, it applies to either party. If they've got problems with it, then why were they so aggressive with their language to you?"- Rob Cohen"When you're chasing the next project, you make decisions like signing the NDA that is totally against you. You can't afford to not sign because you need that project, when in reality that project could lead to your demise."- Khalil BenalioulhajKey TakeawaysConsider bilateral protection instead of one-sided agreementsEstablish internal policies for who can sign binding agreementsCreate template NDAs with legal counsel for repeat situationsWatch for overly broad confidentiality definitions and missing carve-outsNegotiate reasonable timeframes and scope limitationsUse pushback as a test of partnership potentialResourcesNeed Help With An Event?
