Foley Hoag LLP‘s trade secrets group is headed up by a number of specialists; expert litigator Barbara Fiacco, Jeremy Younkin and Allison Anderson in Boston, and Robert Haney who works from the firm’s New York hub. The team’s experience spans complex IP litigation in trade secrets matters including those of alleged misappropriation, as well as handling restrictive covenant and non-compete issues. Life sciences and tech companies are key to the make-up of its portfolio of clients but the team is also equipped to advise individual claimants and defendants; it is notably able to handle matters where the client is based outside of the US.
