Trade Secret Law and Unfair Competition Specialist

No business can protect itself from the theft of its intellectual property and trade secrets, even when it has implemented robust policies and procedures to protect its information. When an employee, contractor or competitor is caught stealing, disclosing or misusing your valuable information, we will work for the return of your confidential information, enjoin its use by competitors and other parties, and seek damages for the harm done to your business. 

The Burke Law Firm advises and defends companies and individuals who have been accused of stealing, using, or disclosing confidential information. In addition, the firm works with clients to manage employees’ use of social media to avoid disclosures of company trade secrets or confidential information on the web. The firm's experience representing both companies and employees gives us insight into delivering practical and effective solutions to our clients. 

If your business suspects that confidential information has been improperly taken or disclosed, we are ready to take prompt action, including: 

• Investigating the theft, interview the relevant employees and other knowledgeable parties, and engage forensic experts to assist in developing evidence of the theft 
• Issuing a cease-and-desist letter 
• Filing suit and/or seeking an injunction to stop the illegal or threatening activity
• Expediting protective legal actions and preliminary discovery  
• Contacting law enforcement, when necessary, to begin criminal proceedings 
• We also retain and guide private investigators and forensic experts to track down and obtain the recovery of highly sensitive and valuable information
