Trade Secret Preservation

Trade secrets take many forms, including customer lists, manufacturing processes, secret formulas and codes to software and hardware. A majority of trade secret violations are performed by current or former employees who have close access to proprietary and confidential information. Often, these individuals give private company information to a business rival or use the information to start their own companies.

At Simpson, Garrity, Innes & Jacuzzi, P.C., our lawyers assist businesses with a range of trade secret protection services, including:

• Creating confidential agreements
• Developing privacy policies
• Securing restraining orders against employees who have violated trade secrets laws
• Putting systems in place to protect physical security

Our goal is to ensure that your business’s trade secrets are not disclosed, misused or stolen, while maintaining employee privacy rights.
