Representative Matters

Aug. 9, 2012) -- Obtained on behalf of The Valspar Corporation an injunction prohibiting the former technical manager of its Beverage Ends packaging coatings group from working for a competitor, despite the fact that there was no non-competition agreement or other post-employment restrictive covenant prohibiting him from working for a direct competitor, on the grounds that there was a substantial likelihood that he would disclose trade secrets if permitted to work for the competitor.
