Unfair Competition/Trade Secrets

California Attorneys Experienced in Trade-Secrets Litigation and Unfair-Competition Claims

Your business’s confidential information can be one of its most valuable assets. Proprietary processes, recipes, client lists, pricing policies, and other information can give your company the competitive edge. When an employee or ex-employee reveals your trade secrets or another company takes unfair advantage, it can damage your profitability and imperil your long-term success.

At the Law Office of Thomas K. Bourke in Los Angeles, we aggressively represent our clients in cases involving trade-secrets violations, fraud, deceptive acts, violations of the California Business and Professions Code, and other situations involving unfair competition.

We take unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets, violation of non-compete contracts, or other unfair practices very seriously at our firm. A lot is at stake, including the very ability of businesses to operate and the jobs that the organization provides.

Proving Damages in Unfair-Business-Practices Cases

Maintaining a current knowledge of this area of business law is paramount to our success. An accusation of revealing or stealing trade secrets is not enough for legal action — actual damages to your business must be proven in court. At the Law Office of Thomas K. Bourke, we aggressively represent clients who have been damaged by unfair business practices.

Challenges We Face in Unfair-Competition and Unfair-Practices Claims

Unfair-business-practices law can present hurdles, but they are obstacles that we are willing to overcome on behalf of our clients. Hardworking business owners work hard to secure confidential information through non-compete and confidentiality clauses in employment contracts. When their valuable information is released and exploited by others, these companies deserve restitution not only for their direct losses, but also for the loss of their competitive advantages.

If there are damages to your company, we will bring them to light with great attention to every detail. Businesses must comply with the California Business and Professions Code. When companies fail to live up to that standard, we will hold them accountable.
