Episode 16 of our Journey Through a Contract sees Felicity Forward and Rachel Rossdale consider the need to ensure that confidentiality provisions are suitably covered within commercial contracts.

Felicity and Rachel discuss some of the key considerations to be given to confidentiality provisions including the risk of defining Confidential Information too broadly, the key things to be covered in a well drafted clause including carve outs and exclusions and ending with some thoughts on what protection there is for parties in the absence of a Confidentiality provision, if any.
