UK NDA · NDA + IP
NDA + IP Assignmenttemplate.
Own the code you commission. An NDA with a mandatory IP assignment for agencies, consultants, and one-off project work.
Built for this
specific moment.
An NDA with a built-in IP assignment clause. When you commission a developer, designer, or consultant, this ensures you own everything they create. Goes further than the Freelancer NDA — the IP assignment is mandatory here, not optional.
Commissioning a software agency to build a product or feature. Engaging a consultant, designer, or specialist to create deliverables for your business. Any project where you need both confidentiality and clear IP ownership of the output from day one.
Every clause
you'll need.
Legally reviewed structure. Plain English. Drafted specifically for UK parties.

About this nda + ip NDA.
How do I customise the template?
Open the DOCX in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Find-replace the highlighted [FIELDS]. The template's inline guidance walks you through each field.
How is this different from the Freelancer NDA?
The Freelancer NDA includes IP assignment as an optional block you can remove. In this template the assignment is mandatory — everything created during the engagement transfers to you automatically. Use this when IP ownership is non-negotiable.
Who should sign this?
The company commissioning the work (the client) and the agency, freelancer, or consultant doing the work. Both sides need to sign before the project starts.
Does it cover pre-existing tools and frameworks?
Pre-existing IP stays with the contractor — their own libraries, frameworks, and tools. What this template assigns is the work product created specifically for your project.
Is the confidentiality mutual?
Yes. Both sides disclose information during the project. The NDA protects your brief and the contractor's working methods.
Does this comply with UK law?
It is drafted for and governed by the law of England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland (your choice). For complex multi-party or international arrangements, take independent legal advice.
