Dear User,
Please find below response to your query.
The purpose of adding a jurisdiction provision to an NDA is to get each party to consent in advance to jurisdiction in one county or state and to give up the right to sue or be sued anywhere else.
If you have sufficient bargaining power, obtain jurisdiction in your home county.
If you cannot obtain jurisdiction in your home county, don't say anything about jurisdiction. If there is no reference to jurisdiction, the location of the case is usually determined by whoever files the lawsuit.
If you do include a jurisdiction clause it may be helpful to choose the same state you chose for governing law, as discussed above. It's simpler and more efficient for a court to apply the familiar laws of its own state.
Feel free to contact me, if there are any concerns.
Thanks
