Protecting your competitive edge
Our Trade Secrets team develops and implements effective strategies for protecting trade secrets, and investigates and litigates related matters for companies in all industries. We have highly experienced lawyers around the world with a strong track record of success. We take a comprehensive approach to solving trade secret issues, no matter how complex.
Clients rely on us to help when their trade secrets may have been mishandled, and when they may have come into improper contact with another company’s trade secrets. In today’s dynamic, digital business environment, these events arise with ever-increasing frequency and severity – and often with no knowledge of senior leadership and no malicious intent. But they still need to be fully investigated, understood, and remediated, with or without litigation.
We litigate and resolve bet-the-company litigation through settlement or final judgment, for plaintiff and defendant clients, in US state and federal courts, arbitrations, and administrative actions, including International Trade Commission matters.
Our team is highly experienced in fast-paced injunction and temporary restraining order practice, expedited discovery and dispositive motion practice, trial practice, and appellate practice, internationally and across all industries. We collaborate with colleagues around the world to assess and resolve cross-border, multi-jurisdictional matters.
“Because trade secret matters occur in different circumstances, we work seamlessly with other practices across our firm to manage the full spectrum of issues in an integrated way.”
We prosecute and defend trade secret misappropriation cases in all settings. These include business-to-business dealings, employee mobility scenarios, idea-submission cases, and overlapping state and federal claims that often arise in connection with trade secret claims.
Because trade secret matters occur in different circumstances, we work seamlessly with other practices across our firm – including Data Security, Compliance, e-Discovery, Employment Mobility, Patent Litigation, Copyright, Trademark, and Media – to manage the full spectrum of issues in an integrated way.
We’ll work closely with you to meet your objectives in all scenarios: when a data privacy breach is investigated or an e-discovery project is in progress and trade secrets are uncovered; when trade secret issues arise with departing or onboarding employees; or when an investigation or litigation involves several forms of intellectual property.
