Non-Compete Agreements and Trade Secrets

Trade secrets, specialized knowledge, and customer lists are as much a part of your business assets as your manufacturing equipment. Each year, businesses spend millions of dollars training key employees, developing new products, and defending against industrial espionage. Unfortunately, even your best defense is useless against a disloyal employee who departs and competes directly with your business or misappropriates your trade secrets.

At the labor and employment law offices of Lindner & Marsack, S.C., we help business management stop employees who disregard (or attempt to disregard) their non-compete agreements or misappropriate confidential or proprietary information. Our attorneys have been drafting airtight non-compete agreements and confidentiality agreements that have saved companies millions of dollars in lost trade secrets and business opportunities. We also serve as aggressive litigators when your former employee breaches a non-compete agreement or misappropriates your trade secrets or customer lists.

We can help you protect your intellectual and human capital by:

• Drafting non-complete and confidentiality agreements
• Developing trade secret protection programs
• Advising employers on hiring employees from competitors
• Seeking temporary restraining orders (TROs) and permanent injunctions to stop misuse or disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information, customer and employee raiding, and breaches of non-compete agreements
• Defending businesses in TRO and injunction actions
