Protect confidential information before you share it.
ZegalWorks drafts non-disclosure agreements that fit your situation, so you can pitch, hire and partner without exposing your ideas.
What is NDA Drafting?
A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a contract in which one or both parties promise to keep information confidential and use it only for an agreed purpose. It is the usual first document when you share ideas, code, designs, pricing or client lists with an outsider.
A good NDA defines exactly what is confidential, what is not, how long the duty lasts and what happens on a breach. A vague one gives only a false sense of safety.
Who this is for
A good fit if you
- Share ideas or plans with investors, partners or vendors
- Give contractors, interns or employees access to sensitive data
- Plan a merger, acquisition or joint venture
- Want a standard NDA you can reuse
Something else may suit you better if
You need to protect a brand name. Use trademark registration.
You need to own work created by a contractor. Add IP assignment terms to the contract.
You are sharing only public information. An NDA is not needed.

How long it takes and what it costs
Actual timing depends on how quickly documents are ready and on the processing time of the authority involved.
Your total cost has two parts: our professional fee, and any government or statutory fees that apply. Government fees are set by the authority and vary by case, so we give you an itemised quote before you commit to anything. See our pricing page for packages.
