Overview
Non-Disclosure Agreements in Georgia
Georgia enforces NDAs under the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act, which governs confidentiality agreements, non-competes, and non-solicitation provisions in employment and business contexts. Georgia courts may modify (blue pencil) overly broad provisions to make them enforceable.
Georgia has also adopted the Georgia Trade Secrets Act, giving businesses a statutory basis to pursue remedies for misappropriated confidential information.
