GET THE LEGAL HELP YOU NEED
Protecting Your Company’s Proprietary Assets & Trade Secrets
Your company's most valuable assets are not always physical. They are the proprietary processes, customer lists, software code, and "secret sauce" that give you a competitive edge. When these assets are misappropriated by a departing employee or a predatory competitor, the damage can be instantaneous and permanent.
At The Duarte Firm, we understand that trade secret disputes require more than legal knowledge – they require technical fluency and immediate action. We use the full force of the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act (FUTSA) and the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) to secure injunctions, stop the leak of information, and recover damages for your loss.
Areas of Focus:
Misappropriation Claims
Prosecuting and defending actions involving the improper acquisition or unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets.
Emergency Injunctive Relief
Seeking immediate Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) and preliminary injunctions to stop the further use or dissemination of stolen information.
Theft of Customer Lists & Pricing Data
Protecting the specialized databases, pricing models, and client relationships that form the core of your market share.
Employee Onboarding & Offboarding Disputes
