How to eSign a document: e-signature legality for General Partnership Agreement in United Kingdom

hello it's called Eclair from studying lawyers I specialized in employment law and today we're going to be talking about a topic that's been very much in the news today the subject of non-disclosure agreements often shortened to NDA's this is a topic which has been very much in news very recently in the last few days because of a case involving a very important businessman but it's because he's been named as someone who signed a nondisclosure agreement because of allegations that were made against him by various employees and he's been named in a newspaper as someone who were supposedly harassed and bullied employees and then signed a nondisclosure agreement and this newspaper is seeking to name him and he has in fact been named in Parliament and you can find his name actually on social media and in fact in other news sources and this has all happened despite the fact that he said that he has signed a nondisclosure agreement anyway I'm not here to educate you about what's been going on and they use I just want to tell you about how non-disclosure agreements may be relevant to you and your situation in your employment or otherwise as well a non-disclosure agreement is a means of signing your right to make a claim against your employer and holding what your what your claim is and nature of your claim confidential so that you're not going to repeat it to any third party and you're bound to make and regard that as confidential and if you then disclose it to a third party your employer may then take an action against you and in return for signing the confidentiality agreement a non-disclosure agreement the employer will pay you a sum of money so a non-disclosure clause or a confidentiality clause is actually part of a settlement agreements we've done a video on settlement agreements already so a nondisclosure agreement is not something special or particular in law and non-disclosure clause or a confidentiality clause is part of a settlement agreement in an employment situation so the crucial thing is it's important in an employment situation too it's vital in fact to have legal advice and for a lawyer to sign a settlement agreement with a confidentiality clause in it for it to be valid one thing that can never happen and this is something which concerns a lot of people at the moment and politicians as well about the validity of non-disclosure agreements is it's never possible to sign away the right to make a complaint to the police about any illegal activity any bullying or any assaults or any unlawful harassment that's taken place even though you signed a nondisclosure agreement so if you want to report something to the police later you're still able to do so despite having signed a non-disclosure agreement it just means that you can't pursue a claim in in the tribunal or the civil courts against your employer so that's the reason for signing a nondisclosure agreement and the benefit of doing so is that it avoids the stress of pursuing a tribunal claim or a court claim because they can be very stressful and it gets the masses sorted out quickly it gets it over and done with very quickly and that's a benefit to the employer who is being potentially sued as well it gets it all over and done with it gets it sorted you get some of money and it's all complete and over and done with if you need advice on potential potentially signing a nondisclosure clause or a non-disclosure agreement in an employment situation then please feel free to contact us I'm I can advise you on that you can have consultation directly or we can have a consultation through Skype or over the phone and we can discuss it further thank you very much
