Our Approach
The Mintz team provides a full range of legal services. We handle everything from risk avoidance and pre-employment counseling to the preparation of temporary restraining orders and — when necessary — representation in court, from preliminary injunction proceedings up through trial and appeal. Our attorneys have successfully dealt with many trade secrets challenges. We resolve most outside the courtroom. But we have also been very successful when we’ve had to go to trial. We've litigated numerous highly technical patent and trade secret cases. And we have the demonstrated ability to understand complex technology while developing and presenting arguments that are both clear and accessible to judges and jurors.
