Protecting a company's trade secrets from theft by competitors or former employees requires both thoughtful and strategic measures as well as quick and decisive action.

Fox Rothschild is ready.

Businesses trust our experienced attorneys to design policies and preventive mechanisms to safeguard proprietary information, and also to vigorously protect their interests should a former employee or competitor misappropriate that information.

We offer a 360-degree, comprehensive perspective on trade secret matters. We represent companies impacted by theft and defend employees and employers accused of misappropriation. Our industry experience is vast, spanning manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, MedTech, financial services, food and beverage, technology, software and more. Our team consists of litigators, employment and intellectual property attorneys who actively represent clients in these matters, securing significant verdicts and favorable settlements throughout the U.S. The attorneys are recognized thought leaders on trade secret and restrictive covenant legal issues and trends.

We advise clients when new employees are hired and trusted executives depart. We skillfully draft restrictive covenants, such as noncompetition, nonsolicitation and confidentiality agreements, to withstand legal challenges. We also counsel clients on the risks of both over and undervaluing company information as trade secrets.

Should a departing employee, contractor, competitor or third party pilfer key intellectual property, Fox’s agile litigators can respond aggressively and tailor a litigation strategy to the particulars of the misappropriation. From seeking an immediate injunction in state or federal court, to pursuing damages or to negotiating an out-of-court resolution, our team takes the necessary steps to protect your interests. We also lead investigations, conduct forensic analysis, and otherwise help clients navigate the often-confusing standards issued by the courts on these matters.

Our clients trust us to protect their most valuable business assets. So should you.
