Paul Hastings LLP

Paul Hastings LLP works with a diverse portfolio of clients on a wide range of high-stakes trade secret cases, including wrongful disclosure of copyrighted information to third parties, AI software theft, patent infringement cases, and commercial disputes. The group’s workload frequently covers multi-jurisdictional matters at the highest court levels, spanning a range of sectors from life sciences, to tech, to consumer goods. The team is headed up by Washington DC-based Naveen Modi, alongside New York-based Bruce Wexler and Eric Dittmann, the three of whom also serve as joint heads of the firm’s global IP practice. Key practitioner Jeff Pade is based in DC also and draws on more than 25 years of experience representing parties in litigation and arbitration, particularly in providing pre-litigation counseling and advice in internal trade secret investigations.
