Protecting Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets

Trade secrets, specialized knowledge and customer lists are as much a part of a business' assets as the manufacturing equipment and IT systems. Businesses spend millions of dollars each year training key employees, developing new products and defending against industrial espionage in an effort to prevent the untold losses that can result from it.

Lindner & Marsack, S.C. helps businesses stop employees who disregard or attempt to disregard non-compete agreements or who misappropriate proprietary information. The firm's labor and employment attorneys draft solid non-compete and confidentiality agreements that have saved companies millions of dollars' worth of trade secrets and business opportunities.
