Non-Disclosure Agreements in Virginia
Virginia 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.
Virginia bans non-compete agreements for low-wage employees, so employers should ensure any restrictive provisions bundled with confidentiality obligations comply with this protection.
