This Law Firm Publication by Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP discusses Massachusetts' adoption of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA), becoming the 49th state to do so (leaving only New York). This codifies a cause of action for misappropriation of trade secrets and allows employers to recover attorneys' fees against an employee who has been found to have misappropriated trade secrets. The adoption of the UTSA is part of the state's recently passed non-competition legislation and is effective October 1, 2018.
