My practice focuses on resolving business disputes through litigation, arbitration, and mediation. The emphasis of my practice is litigation involving restrictive covenants, trade secrets and other competition-related issues. I have represented employers and employees, as both plaintiffs and defendants, in disputes involving covenants not to compete, covenants not to solicit customers, covenants not to recruit employees, and covenants not to disclose confidential information or trade secrets. I have also litigated many competition-related disputes involving claims for tortious interference with business, contractual and/or employment relations, breach of fiduciary duty and/or duty of loyalty, deceptive trade practices, defamation, violations of the Computer Systems Protection Act, violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and/or violations of the Stored Communications Act.
In addition to cases involving competition-related issues, I also work on a variety of other business-related matters, including complex commercial litigation, contract disputes, cases involving business torts, partnership or shareholder disagreements, and claims brought under Title VII or other employment-related laws. I also work on real estate disputes, including cases involving mortgage fraud, boundary disputes, contractor/sub-contractor disagreements, title issues, and claims brought under the Fair Housing Act.
