Unfair Competition
Unfair competition is a general term that is often used to describe business practices that give a competitor an unfair advantage in the marketplace. This can involve theft of trade secrets or confidential client lists and includes a former employee who sets up a competing company. The damage to your business from such acts can be devastating.
There are preventitve steps you can take before a problem arises, to help protect your business. Also, after the damage occurs, you may have legal remedies available that will help you recover your losses. I have the experience to evaluate your unique situation and make appropriate recommendations. Contact my office for a confidential analysis.
Experienced Litigator
I have litigated numerous cases in both state and federal court and have represented clients in hearings before state and federal agencies. In a non-litigation role, I work with business owners on general liability, personal injury, property damage, insurance, employment, and contract issues - including federal contract compliance. I advise employers regarding employment policies and help them to achieve cost-effective solutions to employment issues.
Problem Solving
While I am most often called upon to react to a crisis, I also assist clients who want to proactively set up business systems that meet legal requirements. For example, I work with clients to install policies and procedures to protect their business from former employees setting up competing businesses or competitors stealing trade secrets. I also help clients set up internal procedures to respond to Family Medical Leave Act requests; or to address privacy rights, ERISA, ADEA, ADA, EEO, FLSA requirements and their state law counterparts.
