Non-Disclosure Agreements in Maine
Maine 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.
Maine restricts non-compete agreements for lower-wage employees under state law, so employers should ensure any restrictive provisions bundled with confidentiality obligations comply with these employee protections.
