As part of our employee mobility practice, we recently secured an important victory in the Northern District of California for a Fortune 500 financial services company.  The litigation at issue concerns a financial consultant who left his employment to join a competitor.  Our client sued, and alleged that the former employee stole trade secrets and breached his employment agreement.  On this basis, we petitioned the Court for a TRO, and won.  In ruling for our client, Chief Judge Hamilton enjoined the former employee and his new employer (another Fortune 500 financial services company) from “using, disclosing, transmitting, and continuing to possess” the information at issue, and ordered the defendants to file sworn statements that all information has been returned to our client.  The Court further ordered the parties to proceed with an “expedited arbitration hearing on the merits” under FINRA.

In litigation, winning is everything.
