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. BMK 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, BMK has the experience and skills necessary to protect your interests.
