Protecting confidential and trade secret information is a critical issue facing most organizations today. Successfully protecting this information requires the effective use of restrictive covenants, the implementation and application of appropriate policies to safeguard the information and demonstrate its confidential nature, and the application of procedures and protocols to follow when hiring and firing employees exposed to confidential information and trade secrets.

The Firm has years of experience defending and prosecuting trade secret litigation and drafting effective non-disclosure, non-solicitation, and non-competition agreements throughout the country. Our attorneys also assist clients in conducting audits of their proprietary information to ascertain the types of information afforded protection under the law and what steps employers need to take to be afforded that protection. The Firm's attorneys also work with companies to avoid possible liability which may result when companies hire employees with knowledge of their competitors' confidential information and trade secrets.

Typical trade secrets cases involve:

• Pharmaceuticals
• Manufacturing & Engineering Processes
• Chemicals Formulas
• Product Recipes
• Product Design
• Customer Lists
• Pricing Information
• Research & Development Plans
• Strategic Plans

This is only a representative list of our case work. If you have a specific issue relating to trade secret protection, please contact Adriana Midence.
