In his employment litigation practice, Luis regularly prosecutes and defends covenants not to compete and unfair competition claims, and obtains injunctions to prevent breach of non-compete agreements, employee raiding, unfair competition, and the use or disclosure of trade secrets. He provides strategic advice to clients on matters involving the recruitment and hiring of executives and other key personnel, and also counsels management on the use and structuring of enforceable restrictive covenants and other tools that help employers retain employees and prevent the loss of proprietary information.
