Business Fraud > Protecting your intellectual property is crucial to the success of your business
Business Fraud occurs as companies share an incredible amount of information through electronic generation. Business in the 21st century leaves a comet tail of digital information on disk, smart phone, laptop, personal computer, network and mainframe systems. This “intellectual property” is a great asset to your organization. It includes information about every aspect of the business and is often not only confidential but also sensitive. An unfortunate result that comes with electronic information storage is computer related crime.
Cases can involve:
- Departing employee theft of intellectual property
- Enforcement of non-competition agreements
- Claims of sexual harassment
- Financial fraud and embezzlement
- Legal malpractice
- Bankruptcy
- Family law matters
