    Your call, but the contract will cover things like IPR, payment terms and other stuff specific to the engagement. They may not necessarily translate down to a sub-contractor relationship. Ideally you need a clear (if simple) contract for that engagement plus a separate - to be precise, legally enforceable, unambiguous - NDA for the individual subbie.
    Makes sense. I presume you'd put the non-compete bits in the clear/simple contract?

And at the same time I can include the non-compete to avoid any risk of the subcontractor going and trying to do the work directly.

    I'm open to the idea that a template would be better, although the logic of just doing a passthrough of existing clauses is quite compelling?

    Subcontracting and NDAs

    My contract allows for subcontracting, provided confidentiality is maintained. I’m considering using this to screenshare and brainstorm on a few knotty issues, possibly hand over keys/access further down the line if I can carve a few self-contained bits out.

    Has anyone tackled NDAs/non-compete in this kind of situation? I’m thinking to just copy and paste over my contract, and remove anything obviously irrelevant.

Working...
