Summary
NDAs generally hold individuals accountable for their own actions, not for breaches by others. However, the specific terms of your NDA are crucial. If the NDA does not explicitly mention joint responsibility, you are likely not liable for others breaches. Its important to clarify any concerns with your employer and consider consulting a local lawyer to review the document for any hidden clauses or implications. If the actual perpetrator of a breach isnt identified, assumptions might be made, so ensure clarity with your employer.Full Conversation
