On April 11 and April 27, 2016, the Senate and House, respectively, passed the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA).  The DTSA, for the first time, provides a federal cause of action for the misappropriation of trade secrets.  This significant development has large implications for companies and employers nationwide.  As such, Proskauer has prepared a detailed Client Alert, discussing in detail the impactions of the DTSA.  The Client Alert can be found here.
