Overview
Developing a trade secrets policy is an essential aspect of creating effective protection and providing the necessary platform for enforcement, if the need arises.
Our international cross-disciplinary team of trade secrets lawyers provide a seamless bundle of services meeting your needs for the protection of your sensitive business information - from the creation and implementation of trade secrets policies to global enforcement.
The success of any business depends on its ability to distinguish itself from the competition through the value or individuality of its ideas. Amid the frenetic pace of innovation in today's global economy, the protection of such ideas is as critical as ever. Indeed, trade secrets have become an executive-level priority for companies across all sectors.
A trade secrets strategy should be a critical part of any IP and business plan. It allows you to identify and develop valuable and confidential information relating to your business offering and effectively implement the policies and processes, and deploy the required resources, needed to maintain and extract value from it. Having a robust trade secrets policy also allows you to identify and enforce any misappropriation or misuse of those trade secrets.
Whether you are looking to protect your own trade secrets from being stolen, if your secrets have been misused or if someone else is bringing a trade secret claim against you, we can help guide you through trade secrets law around the world and across a number of key sectors. Our trade secrets lawyers will help you put a trade secrets policy at the heart of your organisation's overall IP strategy enabling you to fully profit from your innovations.
