Sued for Trade Secrets After Leaving a Tysons Employer? DTSA, VUTSA, and the Departing Executive Defense

The defense requires immediate response to TROs, careful inevitable disclosure analysis, and pushback against overreaching restrictive covenants. I represent departing Tysons executives in these cases. Call me before the cease-and-desist hits.
