Overview
Patrick Mastrian represented a furniture manufacturer against an employee who resigned to accept employment with a competitor manufacture, in violation of a post-employment, non-competition agreement. Upon convincing the client to perform an ESI forensic examination of the ex-employee’s work computer and devices, Patrick discovered the ex-employee had copied volumes of proprietary and trade secret information prior to his resignation. Upon making this discovery, the competing company retracted its employment offer and reimbursed the client for its forensic examination expenses and all incurred attorney fees.
