PTS 4A: Contracts That (Reasonably) Protect Secrets — Drafting Enforceable Agreements

from Organized: The Business Law Breakdown Hosted by Seth C. Oranburg

In this first lecture of Module 4, Professor Seth C. Oranburg moves from theory to practice—showing how trade secret protection begins with contracts that actually work. Drawing on real cases such as nClosures v. Block & Co. and Great Hill Equity Partners v. SIG Growth Fund, he explains why many employee NDAs fail in court and what separates enforceable agreements from empty paperwork. Listeners learn how to draft confidentiality clauses that withstand scrutiny: offering proper consideration, defining scope and duration with precision, incorporating DTSA whistleblower-immunity language, and coordinating NDAs with non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. By the end, you’ll see that the goal isn’t maximal restriction—it’s credible, proportionate protection that courts respect and organizations can defend.
