Non-Disclosure Agreement for Colorado
Generate an NDA that complies with Colorado law — with CO-specific clauses, legal requirements, and jurisdiction-aware protections.
Colorado legal context
Colorado follows the Colorado Uniform Trade Secrets Act (CUTSA). 2022 amendments to § 8-2-113 substantially restricted non-competes — they are now generally void unless the worker earns above the highly compensated worker threshold. The statute also requires written notice and limits NDAs to bona fide trade secrets.
Key CO statutes
Colorado Uniform Trade Secrets Act (CUTSA)
Colo. Rev. Stat. §§ 7-74-101 to 7-74-110
Trade secret definition, misappropriation claims, and remedies.
Restrictive Covenants Statute
Colo. Rev. Stat. § 8-2-113
Voids most non-competes; allows trade-secret-protection covenants only for highly compensated workers, with written notice.
DTSA
18 U.S.C. §§ 1833–1839
Federal whistleblower immunity notice required.
Colorado-specific considerations
Highly Compensated Threshold
Trade-secret non-competes are limited to workers earning above Colorado's annually adjusted threshold.
Mandatory Written Notice
§ 8-2-113 requires separate, advance written notice of restrictive covenants — failure to provide it voids the covenant.
Bona Fide Trade Secrets
NDAs cannot restrict ordinary information; they must be tied to actual trade secrets.
DTSA Notice
Required for exemplary damages and attorney's fees against employees under DTSA.
