Becca Furman is a skilled litigator who regularly represents clients in complex trade secret and commercial litigation disputes involving cutting edge technology.  Becca prides herself on bringing a down-to-earth perspective to her cases, allowing her to distill complex technology so that it’s understandable for a jury.  Becca combines tenacious advocacy with a pragmatic understanding of client goals, and develops a legal strategy that aims to achieve quantifiable results.

Her representation includes both plaintiff- and defense-side work.  Recent examples include:

• Co-lead counsel defending technology company in highly-technical trade secret matter in Santa Clara Superior Court involving aluminum anodization.  Potential damages were estimated to be approximately $500 million.  The Court granted the company’s summary judgment motion in its entirety and completely dismissed the Plaintiff’s claims one month before trial.
• Lead counsel defending former employees of an electric car manufacturer against accusations of trade secret theft by a competitor in California state court.  The case involves EV battery development and sales data.
• Lead trial counsel in defense of one of the world’s largest technology companies against fraud allegations in Florida state court.
• Defended a developer of innovative electron microscopes against allegations involving contractual breaches and trade secret misappropriation in federal court.
• Defended a leading software consultant against breach of contract, trade secret misappropriation, and CFAA/CDAFA claims in a multi-million-dollar federal trial.
• Litigated a two-month jury trial against a local school district involving the sexual assault of multiple students at the hands of their teacher.

Outside of the office, Becca spends her time drinking far too much coffee and exploring trails on Mt. Tam with her two children and husband.
