King & Spalding lawyers have unique experience in these two rapidly developing areas of the law.
We can help our clients defend against trade secret and other statutory and common law claims when a business alleges its propriety information was wrongfully taken by a competitor or by its former employees.
We can also help our clients in the general area of competitive intelligence and how businesses can legitimately gather information about competitors. In what is often considered a gray area, we are able to review a client's competitive intelligence practices and provide counsel on the benefits and pitfalls of collecting information about their competition.
Handling more than six actions and one grand jury investigation involving claims of corporate espionage, lawyers in the Business Litigation Practice Group have gained an in-depth understanding of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act and variations that have been enacted by 42 states. In addition, our lawyers have also developed insight and understanding of the federal Economic Espionage Act. Finally, through writing, research and teaching, we are gaining a national reputation in this area.
