Client Testimonials
"We have always found The Waterfront Partnership to offer excellent advice. They have a specialist understanding of IT intellectual property law, which we required to defend a complex copyright dispute. Waterfront were able to fight off the threat of legal action we faced and we now retain the copyright in the software we developed.
We now use Waterfront for all legal advice in our new venture http://www.landorproperty.com and have always found them to work very quickly and provide a very cost effective solution. They provide a very friendly service that is quite unique compared to the larger legal firms."

Non-disclosure Agreements
You should always enter into a non-disclosure agreement before discussing any new ideas or projects with any potential customer or partner. The reason for this is to preserve confidentiality in your information and the commercial ideas that add value to your business. An NDA is a "must have" where you have invented something which may be patentable and wish to discuss it with a third party before applying for patent protection. Otherwise you will risk destroying novelty in your own invention. See patents for further information.
A non disclosure agreement is a straight forward document and usually defines what information is confidential and restricts the purposes for which this information can be used.
