If both of you will disclose, use the mutual NDA. If only you will disclose, use the one-way NDA. If the other side sends you their NDA instead, our fixed-fee review from £149 will tell you what to push back on.

Is this legal advice?

No. The NDA is a template completed from your answers, published as general information. If your situation is unusual, high value or involves a party abroad, take advice before you sign.
