Trade Secrets

Safeguarding your insight and your advantage.

Proper trade secret management allows businesses to fully leverage their innovations, plans, data, and know-how for continued success. Our trade secrets attorneys partner with companies large and small to identify, audit, and implement robust protections around their non-public, commercially valuable information and IP assets. We help clients identify and analyze their information, limit access, implement security policies, and train employees to maintain confidentiality.  When disputes occur, our litigators aggressively investigate misappropriation and pursue remedies like injunctions and damages. Clients across industries trust our decades of experience handling trade secret cases and ability to secure favorable outcomes.
