Trade Secret and Unfair Competition

A company’s secret information deserves protection from competitors and former employees seeking unfair competitive advantage through illegal means. Cook Brown defends management's claims, protecting proprietary, confidential, and trade secret information through:

  • Cease and desist orders;
  • Restraining orders;
  • Injunctions enjoining the dissemination of secret information;
  • Prosecution of lost business and lost economic advantage claims;
  • Prosecution against violators of confidentality agreements; and
  • Prosecution under non-solicitation agreements.

Cook Brown also advises companies on their rights to compete, and defends businesses accused of trade secret violations, interference with contracts or other unfair business practices.
