One-way confidentiality where only one party discloses information. Common in employment contexts, vendor relationships, and early-stage business discussions.
NDA Translation
Non-Disclosure Agreements
Non-Disclosure Agreements protect your most valuable business information—trade secrets, client data, strategic plans. The Arabic translation must provide the same protection as the original. Ambiguous translation can create gaps that undermine the entire agreement's purpose.

NDA Types We Translate
Both parties share confidential information and owe reciprocal duties. Standard for joint ventures, partnerships, and M&A discussions.
Employee confidentiality agreements protecting trade secrets, client information, and proprietary processes. Often combined with non-compete provisions.
Pre-investment confidentiality for due diligence processes. Protect financial information, business plans, and strategic data during funding discussions.
Protection for software code, algorithms, technical specifications, and intellectual property in technology partnerships.
Critical NDA Elements
The scope of what is protected. Must be translated to include all intended categories (technical, financial, business) without unintended gaps.
Information not covered—publicly available, independently developed, previously known. These exclusions limit obligations and must be precisely rendered.
Circumstances allowing disclosure—to employees, advisors, or under legal compulsion. Must clearly define who can access information and under what conditions.
How long obligations last. Some duties end with the agreement; others survive termination. Time periods must be unambiguous in translation.
What happens upon breach—injunctive relief, damages, specific performance. Strong remedy language must remain strong in Arabic translation.
Protecting Your Confidential Information
NDAs are often the first legal document in a business relationship—signed before sharing the information that makes deals possible. This makes translation quality critical from the very start of your engagement.
Consider what happens if the confidential information definition is too narrow in translation: data you intended to protect might be excluded. Or if permitted disclosure language is too broad: recipients might share your information with parties you never intended to reach.
Our legal translators understand NDA structure and purpose. They preserve the protective intent of every clause while ensuring the Arabic version uses terminology that UAE courts recognize and enforce.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does NDA translation require special attention?
NDAs define what information is protected and what happens if protection is breached. Ambiguous translation of the confidential information definition could exclude critical data from protection. Weak translation of remedy provisions could limit your legal recourse. Every clause needs precision to maintain enforceability.
What NDA sections are most critical?
The definition of Confidential Information is paramount—it determines what is protected. Exclusions (publicly known information, independently developed materials) must be equally precise. Duration provisions, permitted disclosures, and return/destruction obligations also require careful translation to preserve their legal effect.
Do you translate both bilateral and unilateral NDAs?
Yes. Unilateral NDAs (one-way confidentiality) and bilateral/mutual NDAs (both parties share confidential information) have different structures. We ensure the directional obligations are clear—who is disclosing, who is receiving, and what duties apply to each party.
How long does NDA translation take?
Standard NDAs (3-5 pages) are typically completed within 6-12 hours. Complex NDAs with extensive schedules or industry-specific provisions may require 24 hours. Rush service available for urgent business deals.
Are translated NDAs enforceable in UAE courts?
Yes. UAE courts recognize and enforce NDAs governed by UAE law. For NDAs governed by foreign law, UAE courts may still enforce them under conflict of law principles. The Arabic translation is what courts will interpret, making translation accuracy essential for enforcement.
What about NDAs in languages other than English?
We translate NDAs from Chinese, French, German, Hindi, and other languages into Arabic. International business partnerships often involve multi-language NDAs—we ensure consistent protection across all versions.
