Trade Secret and Non-Compete Litigation

Trade Secrets & Non-Compete Agreement Attorneys North Haven CT  

Connecticut Business Lawyers Handling Trade Secrets

Trade secrets are among a company's most valuable assets. A company may spend years or even decades developing client lists, manufacturing processes, business strategies and marketing plans — priceless information that is not available to the general public. When this information is illegally shared with competitors, it can cause permanent damage to business interests.

Ciulla & Donofrio LLP: Civil Litigation Attorneys
Sophisticated Solutions to Complex Legal Problems

At the law firm of Ciulla & Donofrio in North Haven, Connecticut, we provide skilled legal representation to businesses. We are first and foremost a litigation firm; we protect businesses through effective litigation and strategic negotiation.

If you have encountered any type of dispute related to trade secrets and proprietary business information, we have the knowledge and experience needed to effectively safeguard your interests. We handle the following issues on behalf of our corporate clients:

  • Bringing or defending claims of misappropriation of trade secrets, including the misuse of customer lists or proprietary internal software programs
  • Enforcing non-compete agreements and non-disclosure agreements
  • Seeking temporary injunctions to prevent the immediate use of trade secrets
  • Pursuing claims for tortious interference with business relationships, when competitors or former employees attempt to use protected customer lists

In addition to litigation services, we provide knowledgeable advice and counsel designed to help businesses avoid future litigation over protected information. We work with clients to identify vulnerable information and help them to develop and implement the proper protections. Trade secrets are only protected under Connecticut law if a business has taken steps to maintain secrecy; we will carefully review your practices to ensure that you are taking the appropriate action.
