Business information

No one would doubt that we live in an age of information. Information is vitally important in business and it merits strong protection. However, to many businesses, it’s not always obvious what protections can apply. In fact, it’s rarely obvious to the uninitiated.

This isn’t surprising when “information” is an asset that is so widely defined and appears in many different forms -whether that is secret know-how and formulae, data on spreadsheets, customer lists, copy on a website, computer code or software.

Drawing upon laws of copyright, database rights, contract, confidentiality as well as the newer Trade Secrets Regulations 2018, and using the Courts for enforcement, if necessary, our experienced lawyers and professionals will help you keep your information and data under control so that it continues working for you.
