A company’s most valuable intellectual property is not always registered or publicly disclosed. Proprietary technology, business methods, customer information, pricing strategies, formulas, processes, data, and other confidential information can provide significant competitive advantages when properly protected. Peck Baxter advises businesses, technology companies, executives, and entrepreneurs on protecting and enforcing valuable trade secrets and confidential information.

Our attorneys help clients identify protectable information and develop practical safeguards through confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, employment and contractor agreements, restrictive covenants, internal policies, access controls, licensing arrangements, and other measures designed to preserve confidentiality and trade secret protection. We also address trade secret issues in technology transactions, joint ventures, strategic collaborations, employee transitions, mergers and acquisitions, and other circumstances where sensitive information is shared.

When misappropriation occurs or is threatened, Peck Baxter represents clients in trade secret litigation involving former employees, competitors, business partners, vendors, and other parties. We pursue and defend claims involving unauthorized access, disclosure, or use of proprietary information and seek injunctive relief when immediate action is necessary to prevent further harm.

By combining proactive intellectual property counseling with sophisticated litigation and trial experience, Peck Baxter helps clients protect confidential information before a dispute arises—and act decisively when valuable trade secrets are threatened.
