Who can sign a
Non-Disclosure Agreement?
Get a few things correct when it comes to
the execution of this agreement to ensure
that its validity stands up under law.
The correct legal name of the
company
Many companies may have two names:
one name that they use to trade and do
business with and another that they used
when they incorporated as a company.
You want to ensure that you have the correct
legal name used when the company was incor-
porated in the non-disclosure agreement.
Authorized signatory
Identify whether the person signing the
non-disclosure has the powers to bind the
company in such an agreement.
Confirmation of
authorization
Request written confirmation by email or fax
from the company to confirm that the person
purporting to have authority to sign the
non-disclosure agreement is who he or she
says they are and is legally authorized to enter
into such an legal agreement with you.
Clear statement
of capacity
Ensure that any employee signing the
non-disclosure agreement does so clearly
on behalf of the company and not in
his/her own personal capacity.
Authority clause
Insert a clause in your non-disclosure
agreement that specifies that the compa-
ny confirms that the individual signing the
agreement is legally authorized to do so.
Clause to cover
organizational changes
Include a clause that the non-disclosure agree-
ment will be binding upon organizational changes:
takeovers, mergers and employees who signed on
behalf of the company leaving the company
