Trade Secrets

We represented a sports league whose thousands of customer contacts was wrongfully taken and used by a former partner in the business who started a competing league. We immediately obtained a preliminary injunction against the former partner. We were later successful in an arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. After a full hearing in arbitration, we obtained a permanent injunction against the former partner and obtained a substantial award of monetary damages even though our client did not lose any customers to defendants' competing business.

We represented a company whose former employees left the company and took the company's documents. Our client sued the former employees. We obtained injunctive relief, including a court order that the employees return the documents to the company. The case eventually settled, in which our client obtained a permanent injunction and monetary damages.
