Scope your NNN drafting quote without a paid meeting first.
This lawyer-designed intake asks the questions usually covered in repeated calls: supplier scope, IP status, damages basis, timing, and negotiation needs. Clear upfront answers reduce back-and-forth and help keep the fixed fee proportionate. Before a formal confidentiality agreement is in place, please keep your answers general. You do not need to upload product files at this stage.
Before payment: scope check only.
Please answer at a general level. Detailed commercial information can be reviewed later after the engagement is confirmed.
Will this NNN be used with one supplier or several?
One counterparty is simpler than a template intended for repeated supplier use.
Have sensitive materials already been shared?
At this stage, a general answer is enough. You do not need to upload product files.
Have any key terms of the NNN agreement already been discussed with the supplier?
This helps identify whether the draft needs to reflect terms already discussed with the supplier, or whether it should be prepared as a fresh draft.
Is there a basis for the proposed pre-agreed damages?
Under Chinese law, a court or arbitral tribunal may increase or reduce agreed damages if they are too low or too high, so a cost or loss basis matters.
What level of lawyer involvement may be needed after drafting?
This affects scope if support is needed beyond preparing the NNN text.
