Protecting Your Business with Legal Expertise

At Primmer, we understand that safeguarding your company’s intellectual property, confidential information, and competitive edge is crucial to your long-term success. Trade secrets and restrictive covenants—such as non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements—are vital tools for businesses seeking to protect sensitive information and preserve their competitive advantage. Our attorneys specialize in helping businesses draft, enforce, and defend against trade secret misappropriation and restrictive covenant disputes, ensuring your interests are protected.

Trade Secrets: Safeguarding Confidential Information

Trade secrets are a valuable asset for many businesses, ranging from proprietary formulas and processes to customer lists and marketing strategies. Protecting this information is critical, and the law requires employers to take measures to prevent its theft or unauthorized use. Our attorneys help businesses take the necessary steps to safeguard their trade secrets, including:

• Trade Secret Protection and Compliance: We provide guidance on the legal requirements for protecting trade secrets under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and state-specific trade secret laws. Our team helps ensure that your practices, policies, and employee agreements comply with these legal standards to safeguard your confidential information. And can help you create policies and procedures to maximize the protection of your trade secrets.
• Employee and Contractor Agreements: We assist businesses in drafting comprehensive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and confidentiality clauses to ensure employees and contractors understand their obligations regarding the protection of trade secrets and proprietary information.
• Trade Secret Audits and Risk Assessment: Our attorneys conduct audits of your current business practices to identify potential vulnerabilities in the protection of trade secrets. We assess internal and external risks and help you implement policies that minimize the risk of trade secret misappropriation.
• Enforcing Trade Secret Rights: In the event of a breach or misappropriation, we provide expert legal counsel to help you pursue legal action to protect your trade secrets. Our attorneys are experienced in enforcing trade secret protections and seeking remedies for any violations.

Restrictive Covenants: Protecting Your Business Interests

Restrictive covenants, such as non-compete, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure agreements, are essential for protecting your company’s proprietary information and client relationships. However, these agreements must be carefully crafted to comply with state laws. Our team helps businesses navigate the complexities of restrictive covenants, ensuring they are legally enforceable and protect your business interests.

• Non-Compete Agreements: We assist businesses in drafting non-compete clauses that prevent employees from joining or starting competing businesses within a specific timeframe and geographic area. Our attorneys help ensure that these agreements are reasonable, tailored to your business, and enforceable under state laws.
• Non-Solicitation Agreements: Non-solicitation agreements help prevent former employees from soliciting your clients, customers, or employees. We help draft these agreements to protect your relationships while maintaining legal compliance with state-specific restrictions.
• Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): We help businesses draft and enforce NDAs to protect sensitive, confidential or trade secret information during negotiations, partnerships, and business transactions. Whether in the context of employee relationships, mergers and acquisitions, or vendor agreements, we ensure that your confidential information remains protected.
• Enforcement and Litigation: If a former employee or competitor violates a restrictive covenant, we provide aggressive legal representation to enforce these agreements. Our attorneys work to protect your business from the unlawful use of confidential information, breach of contract, and unfair competition.
