Non-Disclosure Agreement for Michigan

Generate a non-disclosure agreement that complies with Michigan law — with 3 mandatory clauses and 6 compliance checks built in.

Key legal considerations

You are generating an NDA governed by Michigan law. Michigan follows the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (MUTSA, MCL §§ 445.1901–445.1910). Non-compete enforcement is governed by MCL § 445.774a (Michigan Antitrust Reform Act), which allows reasonable restrictions protecting an employer's competitive business interests. Michigan courts can narrow overbroad restrictions (limited blue-pencil). The standard is reasonableness in duration, geographic area, and type of employment. Always include the DTSA immunity notice.

What's prohibited

Terms and provisions that are void or unenforceable under Michigan law.

  • Unreasonably overbroad restrictions

    Michigan courts enforce NDAs that function as restrictive covenants only if they meet the reasonableness test under MCL § 445.774a (Michigan Antitrust Reform Act). Restrictions must be reasonable in duration, geographic area, and type of activity.
