I have represented companies in lawsuits involving breach of contract, partnership disputes, business torts, trade secrets theft, fraud and other business disputes between companies, company owners, and companies and their employees.

Being Labor and Employment Certified, I advise companies on employment matters and have litigated breaches of employment agreements, discrimination and retaliation claims, misclassification claims, and other types of employment disputes.

I am known for a no-nonsense approach, wise pre-litigation advice and aggressive representation in the courtroom. 

I co-chair the national Trade Secrets and Non-Compete Disputes practice group at Lewis Brisbois and have litigated trade secrets theft, breaches of non-compete, non-solicitation, anti-poaching and non-disclosure agreements and related claims. I have both successfully obtained and fought injunctive relief typically sought in such cases on behalf of companies and executives.

I am frequently asked to write and speak regarding litigation of trade secrets theft and breach of non-compete agreements claims and I blog about the noteworthy developments in that area on my blog .
