Overview
Non-Disclosure Agreements in Utah
Utah 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.
Utah's Post-Employment Restrictions Act limits non-compete agreements to a maximum one-year duration, so employers should ensure any restrictive provisions bundled with confidentiality obligations comply with this cap.
