Confidentiality club
In English legal proceedings, a confidentiality club (also known as confidentiality ring)[1] is an agreement occasionally reached by parties to a litigation to reduce the risk of confidential documents being used outside the litigation. The agreement typically provides that only specified persons can access some documents. Setting up a confidentiality club "requires some degree of cooperation between the parties".[2] Confidentiality clubs were described in 2012 as being increasingly common.[3]
