We work closely with businesses of all sizes, from startups to multinational corporations, providing tailored legal strategies to safeguard their trade secrets, protect those trade secrets through litigation, defend against misappropriation claims, and develop strategies to minimize the risk of trade secret disputes. We also conduct due diligence on trade secret protection in mergers and acquisitions.
Our experienced litigators handle trade secret disputes that arise in many different contexts, including failed business negotiations, dissolved collaborations, movement of key employees from one competitor to another, and the mishandling of valuable confidential information by a business partner. We are positioned to quickly and strategically assist clients in expedited court proceedings, including temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, in any jurisdiction nationwide. We understand the intersection of state trade secret law, the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, unfair trade practice law, and employment law. We master the critical technology at issue in trade secret disputes to build strong claims and defenses, and persuasively present our case to the judge and jury.
We also work closely with clients to identify and classify their trade secrets, assist in the development of comprehensive protection and cybersecurity plans, and strategically build and safeguard intellectual property portfolios. We assist clients in the negotiating and drafting of licensing agreements, and review and draft contracts to protect trade secrets in various business relationships, such as joint ventures, collaborations, and supplier agreements. We offer tailored programs and workshops focused on best practices, risk mitigation, and the legal consequences of trade secret misappropriation, empowering your team to contribute to a secure business environment. We also assist clients in establishing internal policies and procedures to maintain secrecy of trade secrets, including employee agreements, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and confidentiality clauses.
