Document background
The NDA and Non-Circumvention Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Malaysia who need to protect their confidential information while engaging in business discussions or negotiations. This document type is particularly crucial when parties are sharing sensitive business information, intellectual property, or exploring potential business relationships where there's a risk of being bypassed in future dealings. The agreement combines standard NDA provisions with specific non-circumvention clauses, ensuring comprehensive protection under Malaysian law. It's commonly used in business negotiations, joint ventures, investment discussions, and other commercial relationships where protecting both confidential information and business opportunities is paramount. The document's dual nature addresses both the confidentiality aspects governed by Malaysian trade secrets and contract law, while also preventing parties from using the disclosed information to circumvent the disclosing party in future business dealings.
