Experience
- Obtained a decision from the Pennsylvania Superior Court that upheld a trial court's determination that a software vendor did not have any intellectual property interests in an independent system operator's invention of multiple-bank branding on a single automated teller machine (ATM) because there was no evidence of mutual intent to create a joint venture rather than a contractor-subcontractor relationship.
- Represented a food services vendor in various actions to enforce non-competition agreements against former managers and in tortuous interference claims against competitors attempting to acquire its clients by poaching managers.
- Represented a web design firm accused of tortuous interference and theft of trade secrets in connection with the hiring of a software developer from a competitor.
