Trade secrets are among a company’s most valuable—and most vulnerable—assets. As technology becomes embedded in every business process, in-house counsel must understand not only the legal framework of trade secret protection but also the operational safeguards that can prevent, detect, and respond to misappropriation. These skills are essential to both preserving sensitive corporate IP and effectively trying trade secret cases to verdict.
