Testimonials

"I was on the board of directors of a company that Michael represented. As a lawyer and litigator, Michael’s experience and foresight brings unprecedented results. He correctly predicted the adverse party’s strategy, and prevailed at every turn in the litigation, obtaining a complete victory in the matter. He is also a terrific asset to private equity firms or businesses that are performing due diligence in connection with a corporate acquisition. I cannot speak highly enough of his skills as an attorney and advisor." 

"As the Chief Technology Officer of a substantial consumer retail enterprise, I fully endorse Michael Burke and his firm. The company's confidential business information was walking out the front door; Michael's audit, insights and changes to our trade secret program made a world of difference.  He revised our existing agreements, provided effective executive and staff training sessions, and was aggressive in his litigation approach to our market competition. I wish we had used Michael's trade secret law expertise from the beginning, and I highly recommend." 

"When our company expanded to the US, our trade names and trade secrets were the backbone of our corporate value and goodwill.  Protecting those assets while we made agreements with vendors, suppliers, manufacturers and distributors was key to our corporate launch and rapid growth. We were fortunate to have had the guidance, insight and advice that Michael Burke brings to the table on trade secret laws. Michael is a quick study, and he is very comfortable explaining critical legal concepts and elegant business solutions to our senior staff and US board of directors. Michael quickly became a key member of the executive team and a significant creator of corporate value to investors and stakeholders."  

"As a CEO and board member of several companies, I have extensive experience with law firms and legal matters. Michael Burke is one of the most astute and thoughtful counselors I have ever encountered. He explains legal issues in a manner that is easy to grasp, memorable, and in which you understand your options. Not just a lawyer and advocate, but a trusted advisor across the board."  

"When we had a trade secret problem, we called in a trade secret and business expert. Our business problem was an opportunity for Michael Burke to showcase and share his authenticity, authority, experience and knowledge.  All problems are surmountable when you have the right team, and putting Michael Burke on our team was a big step toward a great outcome." 

"Our company is in the health care technology space and related manage care organization services. Our our secret sauce is software, pricing, financials, marketing plans and customer lists.  Michael put together a trade secret protection program, ran training sessions for the company, revised our employee and vendor documents, and dealt with departing employees. We retained our value without any losses in our extensive library of confidential business information.  Highly recommend!"

"Michael Burke was referred to my affiliate network marketing company for an unfair competition and trade libel matter. As he became familiar with our company, he brought our attention to some glaring problems in the security of our important business information.  He helped us patch the holes, secure our network and software information, and disseminated the information on the program to all employees and to our HR department. He also led the original litigation to a very favorable outcome. Excellent trade secret law expert!"

"Michael is a very thoughtful, personable and creative lawyer. He designed our trademark and trade secret strategy from the ground up, did all of our company policies, NDAs and agreements, and through regular checkups made sure that we were following the procedures that had been put in place.  Our international swimwear company had uninterrupted growth and our trade secrets  remained secure despite typical employee turnover.  He makes the process easy to understand, and painless to implement. His business law and trade secret law services were of great value to our company, and I highly recommend him for your corporate needs."

"As a fast growing startup design firm, we had no clue as to how to protect our business trade secrets and manage our internal information.  Michael Burke explained the tools of trade secret law, trained us in how to legally protect our company and our brand, and collaborated with us in putting together our information management systems. Our trade secrets have stayed secret!"
