What's different about an NDA in Brazil
Objective good faith (boa-fe objetiva) under Civil Code article 422 is mandatory throughout negotiation and performance, so an NDA governed by Brazilian law sits inside a broader duty that exists regardless of what the document itself says. English-language NDAs are enforceable, but a sworn Portuguese translation is required if the agreement is ever relied on in a Brazilian court.
