A Kansas non-disclosure agreement is a form that, when signed, provides protection against the release of Confidential Information. A document of this variety is often used when a company with valuable trade secrets is hiring a new employee. However, there are myriad uses for a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and they can be employed in any situation in which a single party wishes to legally protect themselves against the dissemination of non-public information.
