Document background
The Non-Disparagement Agreement is commonly used in Austrian business and employment contexts to protect reputational interests while ensuring compliance with Austrian legal requirements. It is particularly valuable during sensitive situations such as employment terminations, business relationship conclusions, or settlement agreements. The document typically includes detailed definitions of prohibited conduct, permitted communications, enforcement mechanisms, and remedies available under Austrian law. This agreement type requires careful drafting to balance protected speech rights under Austrian constitutional law with legitimate business interests in preventing harmful statements. The agreement can be structured as either unilateral or mutual, depending on the specific circumstances and relationship between the parties.
