Proprietary technologies, information and trade secret know-how have tremendous value, and patent and trade secret disputes can threaten the core, critical aspects of a company’s business. MH attorneys vigorously advocate for their clients in such bet-the-company fights. And they have the experience and expertise to strategically counsel their clients before litigation begins to help them ensure that their intellectual property assets are zealously protected.

Given recent changes in the shifting patent landscape, clients are more and more often relying on trade secret law to protect their proprietary information. And the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 has given them additional avenues to protect their technology in federal courts. MH knows the importance of ensuring that trade secrets are effectively guarded and vigorously enforced. MH attorneys have extensive experience handling trade secret disputes and are well-equipped to aggressively defend their clients’ interests in litigation or arbitration.

Its experienced trial litigators know how to effectively advocate for their clients and persuade judges, juries and arbitrators, even when the technology in dispute is incredibly complex or sophisticated.
