This work begins prior to hiring, and continues through onboarding and the entire term of employment. We defend San Diego and Southern California employers and help to update the policies and procedures, employee handbook and internal labeling and space designations which help to protect and enforce trade secrets and proprietary information.
This can include but is not limited to:

Your company’s proprietary information also includes the way you conduct business, training and selling tactics and materials.
