Keeping Secrets with Confidentiality Agreements

Keeping Secrets with Confidentiality Agreements

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Picture this: You’re sitting at your favorite watering hole with a gal pal (or guy friend) and are totally charged because you came up with an a-m-a-z-i-n-g new idea for a product. So amazing you cannot believe it. It fills a void in the market, it’s easy to ramp up, your brain is already brimming with ideas of how to attract investors. You’re describing your Great New Idea to your friend in passionate detail. And the more you drink, the more passionate you get. What you don’t realize is that they guy seated on the barstool to the other side of you has been listening intently (and taking notes). It also seems that the Mr. Eavesdrop has the resources to develop the Great New Idea quickly, which you do not. Faster than you can say “Jack Robinson,” your Great New Idea is now someone else’s best-selling new product. Can you go after the “thief”? No – you are out of luck.

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
