Our Clients Come First | Incisive representation in Business and Commercial Litigation

Scottsdale Trade Secret Lawyers

When employees move on, they often take valuable knowledge with them:

  • Knowledge of company practices, methods, processes or designs
  • Knowledge and skills obtained in training
  • Confidential business information
  • Relationships with customers or prospects
  • Client goodwill

As a group, these classes of confidential knowledge constitute trade secrets — any institutional information whose value is diminished by being made known to competitors.

Trade secret protection laws allow companies to keep mission-critical knowledge from being dispersed to competitors. The primary leverage against theft of secrets is a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction preventing further wrongful use of the information, until you resolve your claims against the party in possession of your valuable information.
