Trade Secret Litigation and Counseling

For many companies, the most valuable assets never appear in public filings — they live in proprietary processes, technical know-how, data, algorithms, customer relationships, and operational systems.


What we do

Jones Walker advises clients on protecting trade secrets through a combination of counseling, contractual safeguards, and litigation when needed. We help companies develop and implement confidentiality policies, employment and contractor agreements, and operational controls that preserve trade secret protection without disrupting business operations.

When disputes arise

We represent clients in trade secret and unfair competition litigation involving misappropriation, employee mobility, and misuse of confidential information. These matters often move quickly and involve high stakes. Our approach emphasizes early assessment, targeted relief, and strategic resolution aligned with business objectives.

Because trade secret issues frequently intersect with patent, employment, and contract law, our attorneys work across practices to provide coordinated advice that reduces risk over the long term — not just in the immediate dispute.

Talk to our trade secret team

Contact the Jones Walker IP team to discuss trade secret protection or a misappropriation matter.
