Litigation in these areas requires special knowledge and expertise, and we have observed an increasing number of such actions filed by our clients who wish to protect their trade secrets and restrain former employees from unfairly competing in the marketplace, and we have counseled our clients on how best to handle these often delicate matters. We have also served as counsel for the holders of trademarks in Lanham Act actions in federal courts, defended our clients against claims under the California unfair competition statutes, and acquired in-depth expertise in the defense of business fraud claims and claims for intentional interference with contract and with prospective business advantage. We have dealt effectively and frequently with the punitive damages issues that invariably arise in business tort cases.
