Confidential information and trade secrets protect the most valuable part of a business – its “crown jewels”. They are important assets with unlimited protection unlike most other intellectual property such as trade marks and patents.

Unfortunately, sometimes this information can fall into the wrong hands. Brandsmiths can help you act quickly and efficiently to identify the risk to your business and, if needed, take urgent court action.

We work closely with forensic investigators to understand how your business might be affected by a data breach or leak of information. This could be through a hack, a disgruntled employee going to a competitor business, or even human error.

Brandsmiths has appeared before the High Court in claims involving the mis-appropriation of data from previous employees across a wide range of sectors including fashion, media, entertainment and sport.
