Trade Secret and Non-Competition

Certainly business is competitive, but that doesn’t mean your competition should be allowed to cheat in order to win. At Hartung Schroeder, our trade secret and non-competition attorneys work with companies to respond to unscrupulous conduct by current employees, former employees, and competitors who are willing to improperly compete or otherwise undermine your competitive advantages.
