Mutual vs. Unilateral NDAs in M&A Deals
Mutual and unilateral NDAs protect sensitive information during M&A deals, but they serve different purposes. Unilateral NDAs bind only the recipient of information, commonly used when sellers disclose data early in a transaction. Mutual NDAs, on the other hand, require both parties to protect each other’s confidential information, often used in complex deals or joint ventures where both sides share strategic details. Choosing the right NDA depends on the flow of information, the seller's post-transaction role, and the level of legal protection needed.
