A rapidly emerging area of litigation involves disputes concerning non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disclosure agreements between employers and their former employees. With the security of intellectual property on the line, this manner of litigation is, by nature, fast-paced, with cases often won and lost within weeks of filing the complaint. Attorneys need to react rapidly, marshal evidence quickly and argue before the court with limited preparation time. B&M is up to the task and is well-versed in handling these types of disputes. Whether you are a former employer, seeking to protect your valuable trade secrets and confidential information; a new employer, trying to acquire and retain top-tier talent; or an employee, trying to move to a new business unfettered by a former employer's unreasonable restrictions, B&M has the experience and skills necessary to protect your interests.
