Trade Secrets Expert Witness & Investigation
In litigation involving intellectual property and unfair competition, trade secrets theft can be among the most complex and high-stakes claims. Maryman & Associates offers specialized Trade Secrets Theft Expert Witness Services to support law firms and corporate legal teams in civil, criminal, and regulatory matters where proprietary information has been misappropriated or unlawfully disclosed.
Our experts bring decades of experience in digital forensics, cybersecurity, and insider investigations—equipping attorneys with the technical clarity and evidentiary strength needed to pursue or defend trade secrets cases effectively.
Digital Forensics and Trade Secrets Investigations
Trade secrets are often compromised through unauthorized digital activity: file transfers, external storage devices, personal email usage, unauthorized cloud uploads, and deletion of data. Our digital forensic team investigates these actions with precision, uncovering digital footprints left by employees, contractors, or third-party actors.
Key Services Include:
Forensic Analysis of Digital Devices: Examination of laptops, desktops, email systems, mobile phones, USB devices, and cloud services for signs of data theft or exfiltration.
Timeline Reconstruction: Establishing when, how, and by whom sensitive data was accessed, copied, altered, or transmitted.
Metadata and File Access Analysis: Identifying unauthorized use of confidential materials and detecting attempted obfuscation or destruction of evidence.
Whether the theft occurred before an employee’s departure or in violation of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), our investigations are conducted with legal admissibility in mind and are fully documented for litigation use.
