Q: My subcontractor says that they have proprietary info they need my client to sign nda's, How do i protect myself?
I'm subcontracting a company to do security testing on a client. The subcontractor says that they have a master agreement and propriatary information that they need signed by the client. How would I go about doing that so that I'm protecting myself from them dealing directly with the client in this matter and cutting me out of the deal?
A:
That may be tricky.
You should have your own NDAs covering all yours and your subcontractors' bases as well as covering non-compete areas.
You should have your customers sign them, as well as your subs.
Hopefully the sub will be satisfied with that
Most NDAs are or must be two way streets, where everybody's IP is protected
