The Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation Agreement is essential for protecting sensitive business information and maintaining stable business relationships under German law. It is typically used when parties enter into business discussions, negotiations, or collaborative arrangements where confidential information needs to be shared and there's a need to prevent poaching of employees or customers. The agreement must comply with the German Trade Secrets Act (GeschGehG), civil code provisions, and where applicable, EU GDPR requirements. This document is particularly important in German business contexts where trade secret protection is strictly regulated and non-solicitation provisions must be carefully drafted to balance business interests with constitutional rights to freedom of occupation. The agreement is suitable for both domestic German business relationships and international arrangements where German law applies.
