A Multilateral Confidentiality Agreement is a legal document used when three or more parties wish to share confidential information with each other for a specific purpose, project, or transaction. Unlike bilateral (two-party) NDAs, a multilateral confidentiality agreement involves multiple parties, and all parties agree to protect each other's confidential information from disclosure or unauthorized use.
