Re: IT Services
That is a tough question. The answer depends on a myriad of factors - size of fee, language of the NDA, relationship with client, etc. I would hesitate to give you any kind of an answer without reviewing the agreement and discussing the facts.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
