Trade Secrets and Restrictive Covenants
FFI has an extensive background with matters involving the misappropriation of trade secrets. Our work has involved the early assessment and determination of potentially purloined trade secrets such as with analysis related to our Breach Scan services.
Our work has also involved the assertion of or defense against claims of misappropriated trade secrets in actual litigation. Although we typically work with one side or the other, we have often been called to serve as a neutral providing expert services to both sides.
In each case we use our computer forensics, computer security and e-discovery services.
Our expert computer forensic consulting services are used to collect and preserve digital media before subjecting it to penetrating analysis that will determine whether it had contained trade secret data and if anything happened to it.
Our computer security services are used to assess an organization's procedures and determine whether reasonable efforts were made to protect sensitive data.
Our e-discovery services are used in all phases of the litigation lifecycle and the disclosure process to manage digital evidence and comply with procedural requirements in the most efficient and effective manner in expectation of litigation.
