How Can an Orange County Trade Secret Attorney Help?
In our experience, claims for violation of noncompete covenants and trade secret clauses often arise as counterclaims when a business purchaser or former employer is sued for breach of sale or severance terms. Sometimes the action begins with a claim for damages related to a non-competition agreement, and the broader contract issues are raised by the defendant.
While some litigation over these issues reflects a genuine threat to the value of a company’s acquisition of a business division, customer list or proprietary processes, other trade secrets claims represent weak claims intended primarily to scare an adversary – often a former colleague or employee – into backing away from substantial contract or business tort allegations.
Either way, the Orange County business lawyers of Callahan & Blaine know how to analyze, litigate, and resolve business disputes that involve trade secrets or non-competition claims. In most situations, especially when we’re representing an individual alleged to have violated noncompete or data confidentiality terms, we can help you find insurance coverage to support your defense while pursuing your own affirmative claims.
Our investigation of trade secrets and severance claims will take us wherever the evidence leads us. In some cases, that can include complex federal antitrust or California unfair business practices claims that can dwarf the amount at stake in the original litigation.
