Donald Schroeder on Trade Secrets Suit – 'This is why noncompetes exist'

Foley & Lardner LLP partner Donald Schroeder is quoted in the Law360 article, “Industrial Pipe Co. Hits Rival, Ex-Exec With Trade Secrets Suit.”

Schroeder, speaking on behalf of an industrial pipe manufacturer involved in the case, said, “This is why non-competes exist.”

“It’s to protect against somebody sidestepping their restrictions and trying to leverage them in an unfair and improper way, while employed by one of his former employer’s major competitors,” he added.
