Trade Secrets Litigation

We help our clients protect their valuable trade secrets and defend against claims of misappropriation.

The fact pattern is familiar: employees leave for a competing company and questions arise about whether they took sensitive materials on their way out the door. We have deep experience on both sides of this issue, from swiftly investigating the facts and moving to enforce our clients’ intellectual property rights, to defending companies and employees against unfounded claims of trade secret theft.

Our team of experienced litigators knows the ins and outs of trade secret disputes and understands how to gain leverage at every stage of the proceedings. If the case can’t be settled, we have seasoned trial attorneys who have prevailed in front of juries, judges, and arbitrators.

Misappropriation Claims
We fight vigorously to uncover and stop the theft of our clients’ IP. When defending against claims of misappropriation, we use the same playbook to spot weaknesses, including attacking overblown assertions about the secrecy, value, and protections around purported trade secrets.
Employee Mobility
Companies that have fallen behind the competition all too often bring trade secrets cases to stifle innovation and to intimidate former employees. We know the law in California and elsewhere, and we fight hard against exaggerated claims of misappropriation that stifle our clients’ ability to freely pursue their innovations and hire the talent they need to do so.
Trial
Our attorneys believe that the best outcome for our clients can only be secured if the opponent knows we have the ability and experience to take the case to trial. Our firm has a proven track record of success in federal and state courtrooms and before arbitration panels.
