Confidentiality and trade secrets

Solicitors here advise on and generate documentation in relation to the law and practicalities of confidentiality and trade secrets. Our solicitors undertake litigation of claims for injunctions and damages arising from the misuse of confidential information

Valuable assets do not always come pre-packed. Our solicitors are used to working at the margins of intangible rights, where duties of non-disclosure fade into the public interest in commercial freedom, where hard-nosed dealing borders on shabby treatment. The ability to take a realistic view of rights and obligations arising from the communication of information is a product of experience. Humphreys & Co. has the experience clients require, whether in documenting agreements or taking injunctive action.
