From the supplier: Plaintiffs' attorneys agreeing to the defendants' desire for a confidentiality agreement may harms other plaintiffs as well as the public health and safety, and the plaintiff's need for settlement proceeds should not blind an attorney to these higher concerns. Attorneys involved in cases that may affect the public health and safety can balance the client's and the public's interests with certain safeguards and some common sense. Secrecy agreements may be appropriate and do no harm to the public in cases concerning trade secrets or privileged information.
