The team at Seyfarth Shaw LLP is well regarded by its clients for its ‘exceptional expertise and collaboration’, advising widely on matters concerning mass data theft, breaches of contract, computer fraud, workforce raiding, destruction of evidence, and complex trade secret misappropriation. The practice is jointly led by three partners: experienced Chicago-based trial attorney Michael Wexler and Los Angeles-based Robert Milligan both handle non-compete, computer fraud, and trade secret matters, as does the Boston-based Katherine Perrelli. Also in Boston, Dawn Mertineit is well equipped to assist clients across a range of industries with the remit of complex commercial disputes. Jesse Coleman is a key practitioner in Houston with a track record of litigating across the energy, telecoms, hospitality, and healthcare sectors. Advising on reputational risk relating to restrictive covenants and trade secrets forms a key portion of New York’s Gary Friedman’s workload. Daniel Joshua Salinas is also a key name in Los Angeles.
