Sellers and brokers ask potential buyers to sign iron-clad agreements to protect company secrets. That's fair. But what about the buyer? Their interest in a specific market, their financial capacity, their acquisition strategy—that's highly sensitive, valuable information. A one-sided NDA leaves all of it unprotected. Sadly, and not surprisingly, some potential buyers have been fired by their employer who discovered the desire or search for business opportunities. So, I have to ask: • If you champion one-sided NDAs, can you defend them? What risks do you believe buyers are actually facing when they share their plans without reciprocal protection? • Buyers/Searchers: How do you push back? Do you redline the agreement, walk away, or just accept the risk? • What's the most effective way to protect yourself when the other side won't budge on mutuality? IMO - CONFIDENTIALITY should be a two-way street. Agree or disagree? Let's debate in the comments. 👇
