A breakdown in the employer/employee relationship can result in unfair accusations of trade secret misappropriation by the company. While legitimate trade secrets deserve protection, many companies overreach and try to weaponize trade secret laws to restrict career mobility, intimidate former employees, or prevent lawful competition. We help defend against such claims. Trade secret misappropriation claims can have serious professional and financial consequences, including lawsuits and reputational damage, and understanding your rights is critical. If you are facing accusations of trade secret misappropriation, seeking legal advice early can make a big difference in the outcome.
