We litigate highly technical, high-stakes trade secrets matters before state and federal courts. In addition to aggressively pursuing the merits of trade secrets claims and defenses, we are well-versed in obtaining or defeating temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions at the outset. Moreover, unlike most IP practices, our team has expertise in the white-collar crime aspects that attend many alleged trade secrets violations.
