And then your employer went on to indemnify the customer, right? Because
they usually insist. But then they behave in a way that puts you at risk.
I always ask for /bilateral /non-disclosure agreements, because the
terms will be balanced if both parties have to abide by them. The
companies always have one on file, so it's no hassle for them. But it's
astonishing how often they go on to violate their own agreements by
publishing things about my involvement in their company that I've not
authorized.
It is true that management generally views the law as a tool to be used
against others. And the managers also don't understand their lawyers
well enough to manage them, so the lawyers end up running the company in
ways that should never be allowed.
