Jones Day

The group at Jones Day is well placed to handle the gamut of trade secret matters for various clients in national as well as international contexts, covering jurisdictions from Australia, to Europe, to China. The team’s workload includes representing companies in claims regarding the hiring of employees and trade secret misappropriation therein; acting for clients in litigation where trade secrets have been improperly accessed; and handling matters of trade dress and copyright infringement. Its client list spans sectors from tech and pharmaceuticals to aerospace and engineering, and the team handles arbitrations, trials and appeals. Randall Kay oversees the practice from San Diego and is vastly experienced in trade secrets litigation, particularly in global contexts. Also on the West Coast, Los Angeles-based Andrea Jeffries is adept at representing defendants and plaintiffs in the array of complex disputes. Cary Sullivan and Steven Zadravecz are both names to note in the Irvine office. In Washington DC, Michael Oblon counsels and litigates on behalf of electronics and software tech clients, in particular.
