Business Competition
We understand that confidential and proprietary business information, customer relations, trade secrets, and inventions and processes are a major asset of any employer. To protect our clients’ interests, we prepare employee non-compete and confidentiality agreements with a full understanding of the applicable laws that govern their enforceability. In the event an employee, former employee or competitor seeks to misappropriate protected information of a client, we swiftly utilize our business competition litigation experience to protect our clients’ interests, whether by seeking a temporary restraining order or injunction, pursuing money damages, or devising creative solutions to serious business problems. In addition, when our clients are wrongfully accused of unfair competition or misappropriation of trade secrets, we aggressively defend them against such claims.
