Non-Disclosure Agreements in Kentucky
Kentucky enforces NDAs under general contract law and has adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Confidentiality restrictions must be reasonable in scope and duration to be enforceable.
Kentucky courts apply standard reasonableness review to confidentiality and non-compete provisions, and will enforce agreements that protect legitimate business interests without unduly restricting a person's ability to work.
