Bailey Cavalieri

Firm overview:

Formed in 2003, this small Ohio-based firm emerged from a 100-year legacy of a large predecessor firm, Arter & Hadden. In its short life, Bailey Cavalieri has been recognised by various US rankings and accolades. It has litigated for clients in almost every industry, including healthcare, technology and software, manufacturing, financial services, insurance, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food services and military contracts.

Bailey Cavalieri’s trade secrets offering is part of the firm’s business litigation group, with the team representing both employers who believe their proprietary information is at risk, and employees accused of misappropriation. The firm’s attorneys have acted for clients in over 100 state courts, federal courts and arbitration forums across the US, and also advise on strategies to minimise trade secret risk prior to litigation.

Team overview:

Member John Marsh is co-chair of the firm’s Business Litigation Practice Group. His commercial litigation practice concentrates on trade secrets and the enforcement of restrictive covenants throughout the US. A peer notes that Marsh is “very knowledgeable on the trade secret space and he seems extremely competent”, with another commenting that he is “a big thought leader”.

Marsh was chair of the American Intellectual Property Law Association’s (AIPLA) Trade Secret Law Committee and played an active role in supporting the enactment of the Defend Trade Secrets Act.
