The law firm of Siebman, Burg, Phillips & Smith, LLP can represent your interests from their offices in Sherman, Plano, Lufkin and Marshall.

Texas Common Law and Trade Secrets

Unlike the majority of states, the State of Texas has not adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, but has instead adopted the trade secret protection of the common law. At Siebman, Burg, Phillips & Smith, LLP the attorneys understand the nuances of litigating trade secret claims in Texas. For over 20 years, they have worked with individuals and businesses to prosecute and defend against intellectual property and trade secret infringement.

Whether a trade secret was infringed depends on many factors, such as whether there was a valid noncompetition or confidentiality agreement and what actions a party took to protect the information from discovery. The attorneys at Siebman, Burg, Phillips & Smith, LLP have represented businesses and individuals in trade secret litigation throughout the Eastern District of Texas, both in the pursuit of claims for relief and defending against claims brought by others.

The firm will work with your business, either as your lead trial attorney or as Texas co-counsel, to develop and implement a strategy to protect your interests regarding claims of trade secret misappropriation. Its lawyers bring with them both a Texas perspective and proven courtroom ability.
