Proven success, unrivaled depth and experience

In the highly competitive, knowledge-driven global marketplace, a company’s ability to protect its trade secrets, human capital and client relationships has become critical to its success and survival.

Proskauer’s Restrictive Covenants, Trade Secrets & Unfair Competition Group is a nationwide multi-disciplinary team that includes lawyers from our Labor & Employment, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation, Antitrust and White Collar Defense & Investigations practices. Clients around the country and across industries regularly engage us to enforce or defend against allegations of breaches of restrictive covenants, theft of trade secrets and raiding of employees. We are also at the forefront of litigation involving claims of antitrust no-poach collusion and wage-fixing.

We leverage decades of experience in handling emergency applications for injunctive relief and complex litigation, and designing, drafting and negotiating restrictive covenants ranging from confidentiality agreements to non-compete and non-solicit agreements. We work closely with the Firm’s Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation practice to make sure that compensation arrangements and non-compete and other post-termination restrictions are properly aligned and integrated. We have a track record of achieving the results clients need in their most sensitive matters in order to safeguard their reputation and financial interests.
