Restrictive Covenants and Trade Secrets
Trade Secrets, Nondisclosure Agreements and Restrictive Covenants
Greater Philadelphia · Pennsylvania · New Jersey
Most business relationships of any complexity necessarily involve the sharing of confidential information within and
between companies. At Wynn McGarry, our trade secrets attorneys can help you manage and restrict the flow of
sensitive information through effective contract drafting and the use of restrictive covenants. We can also move
quickly to protect your rights through injunctive relief whenever an employee, former employee, or third party
intentionally or inadvertently misuses your company's confidential information. To learn more about our experience
with trade secrets, contact one of our lawyers in our Suburban Philadelphia office.
We can advise you and negotiate protective contract terms that anticipate and address disclosure and competition
problems in a wide variety of business settings:
Employment and management agreements
Shareholder and partnership agreements
Contracts with professional, technical, marketing, and executive consultants and personnel
Due diligence in the course of a business sale or purchase
The use of proprietary information or trade secrets in licensing, distribution, or information technology agreements
Our lawyers also work to protect your business interests through noncompete clauses in employment
agreements, severance packages, and business purchase or sale agreements.
The violation of trade secrets or nondisclosure agreements, whether or not incorporated into a noncompete
agreement or the terms of a letter of intent for the sale of a business, can lead to serious and immediate
consequences for your company. We have the resources to intervene on your behalf on very short notice, through
temporary restraining orders, emergency injunctive relief, or other judicial process.
In our experience, it is not unusual for restrictive covenants to figure in broader disputes between businesses or
between a company and one of its current or former principals. We know how to handle claims or counterclaims
involving trade secrets or unfair competition issues in any corporate, commercial, or employment litigation, no
matter whether you are asserting or defending the claim.
To learn more about our ability to help you with confidentiality and competition issues both in contracts and in
litigation, contact a knowledgeable business attorney at Wynn McGarry.
