Trade secret theft casework in Tennessee
Trade secrets walk out the door on a thumb drive or in a personal email. Pinnacle's private eyes document who took what, where it went and who is using it, fast enough to support an injunction.
Trade Secret Theft handled by a licensed private detective agency
Under the Tennessee Uniform Trade Secrets Act and the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, a company that moves quickly can stop misappropriation before the damage is done. Speed requires evidence: the download logs, the personal cloud accounts, the new employer's sudden product, the customers who received a suspiciously well-informed pitch. Pinnacle's private eyes work with your counsel and digital forensics partners to document the taking, trace the use, and gather the field evidence that supports a temporary restraining order.
We also document the human side: the departing employee's new role, the competitor's recruiting pattern, and the customers and vendors being approached, all lawfully and in a form the court will accept.
Situations trade secret theft casework is built for
If one of these sounds familiar, a confidential conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies the next step.
- Bulk downloads or emails to personal accounts before a resignation
- A competitor launching something that looks like yours
- Customers reporting pitches that use your internal pricing
- A departed employee at a competitor within days
- A former partner or contractor now selling a similar product
- Non-disclosure or non-compete provisions you need to enforce
