Our client-centered, multidisciplinary approach ensures the protection of corporate assets, including trade secrets, key personnel, and valuable customer relationships.

Our Services

Protecting Corporate Assets: We implement comprehensive corporate protection programs and best practices to safeguard confidential information, trade secrets, and valuable relationships with employees, customers and contractors. As one aspect of these best practices, our team crafts confidentiality, noncompetition, and nonsolicitation restrictions tailored for our clients’ businesses to comply with varied and changing state laws.

Electronic Data Investigation.  Our lawyers work with computer forensics experts to design modern investigation strategies for both the detection of trade secret cyber-theft and the discovery, isolation, and remediation of confidential information from computer systems.

Litigation Defense and Prosecution: We are experienced litigators who handle noncompete and trade secret disputes, obtaining or defending against emergency restraining orders, expedited discovery and other injunctive relief. We prosecute and defend noncompetition agreements, unfair competition, anti-competitive practices, breaches of fiduciary duties of loyalty and confidentiality, and employee raiding claims in federal and state courts throughout the country.  Our lawyers have years of experience litigating dual-filed actions in multiple states contesting the proper jurisdiction and choice of law to be applied to employees violating non-competes.
