So your former employer is suing you.

Fight back.

 

You left your old job to start your own company. Or to join another one. Or maybe just to take a break.

The reason doesn’t matter.

All you know is that your former employer is now suing you for misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, and intentional interference with contractual relations. Probably other things too.

Fear not.

You did nothing wrong. We’ve seen this over and over. Your last boss feels like they own you. Like you owe them something. So they lash out with a lawsuit.

But this is California.

It’s your right as to work however, whenever, and wherever you want.

Want to start a new company? Great! Go for it.

Want to join another? Ditto.

California’s great like that. Old employers be damned.

But still. You’re staring down the barrel of a lawsuit. What do you do?

You fight back.

Every time we defend these cases, our number one move is to go on the offensive.

We can almost guarantee that their employment contract with you was illegal. Virtually every employment contract we’ve ever seen has violated California law. Even ones by Fortune 500 companies.

We exploit that.

We come in, guns blazing, and seek to declare all of their employment contracts void. For every employee. Whether it’s one or thousands.

We’ll also demand that they pay us hundreds of thousands of dollars for the privilege of invalidating their contracts. (And we’ll get it.)

That’s how we will get you an outstanding win that makes your old boss wish that they never brought the lawsuit.
