As a result of our business litigation expertise, our attorneys also stand out in IP litigations raising complex breach of contract, corporate, employment and other business law issues. Our lawyers have particular experience in emergency intellectual property litigation, and in digital forensic investigations of anonymous software and Internet-related infringement.

An online retailer whose officers violated fiduciary and other duties by starting a competing business using the retailer’s trade secrets, content and back-end software

A software developer whose tools were incorporated into applications marketed by a Fortune 50 tech giant despite a pre-existing software license barring such use

An affiliate network caught in a trademark and contract indemnity lawsuit over alleged trademark infringement by one of the network’s affiliate publishers

A services business whose proprietary client database was stolen by an employee and given to a competitor who sent defamatory letters to the business’s customers
