Catalyst Law Group

Catalyst Law Group helps its clients to establish proper confidentiality procedures and to determine the appropriate means of protecting trade secrets. Our attorneys are experienced in drafting a wide variety of agreements for the protection of trade secrets, such as non-disclosure agreements, employment agreements, consulting agreements, invention development agreements, manufacturing agreements, distribution agreements, and licensing agreements.

Many types of information can be the subject of trade secret protection. Trade secret protection sometimes is more desirable than patents or other forms of intellectual property protection that may require public disclosure.

Problems commonly faced by clients include the misappropriation and unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets by former employees, vendors, contractors and competing businesses. Protection of trade secrets embodied in computer programs is often an important part of a client's intellectual property protection program. Protection of trade secrets and the avoidance of infringement of the trade secrets of others are important aspects of the firm's practice as well.
