Trade Secret Litigation

We devise litigation strategies that maximize our clients’ return on their investment in trade secrets and help them maintain their competitive edge. Our lawyers regularly conduct expedited discovery and utilize temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunction motions to halt dissemination of our clients’ confidential information. We are equally effective achieving dismissal of claims for clients accused of trade secret misappropriation. Kramer Levin broke new ground filing and resolving one of the first federal trade secret actions under the Defend Trade Secrets Act.

Our clients also rely on us for proactive guidance on trade secret use and the protection of confidential information in the context of mergers, acquisitions and licensing arrangements. Further, we advise on types of information that should be protected as trade secrets, assist clients in establishing internal practices to protect confidential information, and negotiate and enforce the terms of nondisclosure, noncompetition, nonsolicitation and confidentiality agreements.
