Been asked to sign an NDA - we have no contractual relationship (yet). This is for a US company that operates in the UK. It says that the agreement is under California State and US Federal law. Obviously I don't intend to break it - but I am slightly worried that in the event of any dispute I'd end up having to pay some Saul Goodman alike in California? Considering asking for a version for UK law but not sure if I am overthinking it.

Probably overthinking it though - so long as you comply - but you could get a lawyer to review it if it makes you feel safer.Last edited by Paralytic; 3 November 2021, 08:43. -
Be very careful, you may find your professional indemnity insurance doesn't cover issues beyond the UK jurisdiction. It would be normal for US claims against the Ltd Co to not be covered by a UK insurance policy. It may be either very difficult or very expensive (or both) to obtain PII to cover US liabilities. Myself, I wouldn't do work under US jurisdiction without good PII cover.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.
