Trade Secrets, Unfair Competition and Non-Competition Agreements

No one likes a traitor, a thief or a cheater and many companies are surprised when they find they have one in their midst. In a business where trade secrets are vital, and customer relationships are confidential, clients need a law firm that will help them keep what is theirs. Whether a company or a departing employee, we guide clients through the complicated laws of trade secrets, non-competition agreements and unfair competition. Often these cases move quickly and require temporary injunctions and expedited document exchanges. We have the experience to focus on the critical issues to get resolution without wasting valuable time and money. Our attorneys have successfully pursued and defended hundreds of non-competition, trade secret and unfair competition claims before juries, judges and arbitrators in state and federal courts throughout the West.
