Jacqueline also brings and defends against unfair competition actions on behalf of employers, including claims for breach of noncompete, nonsoliciation, and nondisclosure agreements. Jacqueline prepares and litigates claims through trial.
A significant portion of Jacqueline’s practice is also devoted to litigation prevention.
