[Specific Confidential Information Categories]
This clause specifies what types of information are considered confidential. It is crucial to clarify what is and what is not included to prevent any disputes.

Lists exceptions to what is considered confidential, such as information that is already public or was independently developed without using the disclosed information.
Specifies the length of time that the agreement lasts and how long confidentiality is to be maintained. This can include both the term of the agreement and any surviving obligations.
Outlines circumstances where the receiving party is allowed to disclose information, for example, as required by law or to employees who need to know.
Requires the receiving party to return or destroy any confidential materials at the end of the agreement or upon request.

As an Independent Financial Advisor reaching beyond $100M in AUM or operating as a state-registered RIA in Ohio, your client lists and investment strategies are your most valuable assets. Protecting these requires more than a generic template; you need a document that recognizes fiduciary duty clauses, Ohio Rev. Code § 1335.05 Statute of Frauds requirements, and the nuances of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act. This NDA is designed to mitigate fiduciary liability and E&O claims by establishing clear boundaries for confidential information, ensuring that your risk disclosures and portfolio allocations remain proprietary during partner negotiations or staff onboarding.
Under Ohio Rev. Code § 1335.15, employment-related agreements lasting more than one year must be in writing. Furthermore, Ohio’s unique prohibition on the retrospective application of laws (Article II, Section 28) and specific 'business judgment rule' protections mean your NDA must be precisely drafted to remain enforceable during litigation. Our document includes required Ohio-specific jurisdiction and governing law clauses to address these local complexities.
Yes. This agreement is designed with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and FINRA standards in mind. It includes 'Permitted Disclosures' clauses that allow for regulatory audits or legal subpoenas without breaching the agreement, ensuring you remain compliant while protecting your proprietary firm data and trade secrets.
While the NDA protects static information like client names and AUM data, it must not overlap with your fiduciary duty to act in the client's best interest. This document includes a 'Definition of Confidential Information' that specifically excludes high-level investment principles while protecting the specific portfolio strategies and risk tolerance profiles that define your competitive edge.
The agreement includes structured 'Remedies for Breach' and 'Indemnification' language. While an NDA primarily protects information, we integrate language that clarifies that the disclosure of information does not constitute investment advice, helping to mitigate Errors and Omissions (E&O) risks and clarify the scope of services provided during the disclosure period.
