The old way
- An NDA request is made.
- A lawyer starts searching for the template. This may take some time if files are scattered across desktops, cabinets, and drawers.
- The template is sent to the requester.
- The requester fills in the template and sends to Legal for review. If the NDA turns out to be an older version, the process restarts.
- Legal sends the reviewed NDA back to the requester.
- The NDA is emailed to the client to sign.
- The signed NDA returns to Legal who saves it in a shared drive or places (and forgets) it in a drawer, never to see the light of day again.
