Lawyer Rankings

United States > Intellectual property > Trade secrets (litigation and non-contentious matters)

Seyfarth Shaw LLP handles complex, multi-jurisdictional trade secrets matters, including some in growing sectors such as technology. A notable feature of the practice is that trade secrets matters are handling by a stand-alone trade secrets and non-competes team, jointly headed by Michael Wexler in Chicago, Robert Milligan in Los Angeles, and Katherine Perrelli in Boston. The trade secrets team has recently handled a number of matters for Stryker Corporation, which involved appeals to the US Supreme Court. Wexler, a former state prosecutor, has extensive experience in state and federal courts, and has acted for a number of household name clients over the past year.
