Non-Disclosure Agreements in Wisconsin
Wisconsin enforces NDAs under general contract law and its own Trade Secrets Act. Confidentiality restrictions must be reasonable in scope and duration to be enforceable.
Wisconsin's non-compete statute requires restrictive covenants to be reasonably necessary to protect the employer, and Wisconsin courts will void (not blue pencil) provisions that are found unreasonable.
