Sanstead Law has assisted clients in virtually all aspects of construction law, including contract preparation and interpretation, contract disputes, construction litigation, construction lien issues, mediation, and arbitration.

TRADE SECRETS AND UNFAIR COMPETITION

Trade secrets include such items as customer lists, pricing strategies, marketing plans, supply sourcing information, product information, design strategies, and other confidential and proprietary information. In today's world, trade secrets may be one of the most valuable classes of assets owned by a business. It has become increasingly more common for departing employees or competitors to attempt to unlawfully obtain the benefits of a company's proprietary information and trade secrets, and such matters are addressed by the law of unfair competition. Sanstead Law has experience in providing advice and counsel to clients in these areas as well as litigation experience in the areas of trade secrets, franchises, unfair competition, trademark/trade name disputes, and misappropriation of business opportunities.
