The questions your team needs answered
Every trade secret and noncompete litigation intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is your issue about a job-related noncompete, nonsolicitation, confidentiality agreement, or trade secret dispute? | Confirms the dispute is actually a noncompete, nonsolicitation, confidentiality, or trade secret matter rather than a different employment issue you don't handle. |
| Did this situation happen in the United States or involve a U.S. employer or U.S.-based work? | US jurisdiction and employer location determine whether the restrictive covenant or trade secret law you practice even applies to the dispute. |
| Do you have a copy of the agreement, policy, or written terms you are being held to (or can you get it)? | Whether a signed agreement or policy exists and can be produced determines if there's an enforceable instrument to litigate at all. |
| Are you currently being threatened, sued, or asked to sign something because of this (or do you need to enforce the agreement against someone else)? | Distinguishes an active lawsuit or real threat from a hypothetical worry, and clarifies whether the lead needs to defend against enforcement or enforce the agreement against someone else. |
| Did the dispute start within the last 12 months? | Noncompete and trade secret claims run on limitations periods, so a dispute older than a year may need different triage than a fresh one. |
| Is there a specific person or company you believe is responsible (such as your former employer, current employer, or a former employee)? | A named former employer, current employer, or former employee gives you an identifiable counterparty to check for conflicts before the consultation. |
| Has this situation already caused you financial harm or a real job impact (like losing a job offer, being blocked from work, losing clients, or legal costs)? | Documented financial harm or job impact signals real damages worth litigating rather than a preventive or speculative question. |
| Are you willing to speak with a lawyer and share documents and details about your work history and the dispute? | Willingness to share documents and work history upfront tells you whether the lead can actually support a case once retained. |

Built for trade secret and noncompete litigation workflows

Common trade secret and noncompete litigation lead scenarios
Already served with a lawsuit
A former employee has been sued by their old employer, has the signed noncompete in hand, and the dispute started within weeks. The intake surfaces the active threat and recent timing so this reaches you fast.
Employer wants to enforce
A company suspects a former employee is violating a confidentiality agreement and wants to pursue enforcement rather than defend against a claim. The intake distinguishes this direction from a lead who's being sued.
No signed agreement to show
The prospective client believes they're bound by a noncompete but can't produce a written copy and isn't sure their employer ever gave them one. The intake flags the missing document so you can decide whether to still take the call.
Dispute from years ago
Someone reaches out about a trade secret dispute that started well over a year ago, with no recent lawsuit or threat. The intake captures the older timing so you can screen for limitations issues before offering time.
Work happened outside the US
A lead describes a noncompete tied to work performed entirely outside the United States with a non-US employer. The intake catches the jurisdiction mismatch before it becomes a wasted consultation.

Trade Secret and Noncompete Litigation lead-intake FAQs
What happens if a lead doesn't have a copy of their agreement yet?
The intake still captures whether they believe an agreement exists and whether they can obtain a copy, so you can see if there's a real instrument to review even before documents are uploaded.
Can the intake tell me if someone wants to enforce an agreement rather than defend against one?
Yes. The threat and enforcement question is written to cover both directions, so you know upfront whether the lead is being sued or wants to pursue a former employee or competitor themselves.
How does the intake handle disputes that started a long time ago?
It records whether the dispute began within the last 12 months, which lets you spot potential limitations concerns before you commit time to a consultation.
Does the intake check whether the matter is even under US law?
It asks whether the situation involves a US employer or US-based work, so leads describing entirely foreign employment relationships are flagged rather than routed as standard matters.
Will I know if the lead has already suffered real financial harm?
The intake asks specifically whether the situation has already cost them a job offer, clients, legal fees, or other financial impact, which separates active damages from hypothetical concerns.
What if I only handle noncompete drafting, not litigation, for this kind of matter?
Because the intake asks whether the person is currently threatened, sued, or enforcing the agreement, you can see immediately whether this is a contentious dispute rather than a drafting request before you accept the consultation.
