FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DETROIT, Mich. – Butzel Long attorney Bernard J. Fuhs is the featured speaker for a Macomb-OU INCubator program on Thursday, December 6, 2012 in Sterling Heights.
Mr. Fuhs’ presentation is titled, “#NicePeopleDOFinishLast: Protecting Your Investment, Ideas and Trade Secrets in the Social Media Age.” Mr. Fuhs will conduct a presentation regarding how to protect a company’s most valuable assets, including trade secrets, confidential information and business relationships.
“A common mistake made in today’s fast-paced business world is the failure to proactively and properly protect a company’s confidential information and/or business relationships – the heart of virtually any business,” said Mr. Fuhs. “This failure can negatively impact a business, particularly startups and entrepreneurs, and often results in huge financial losses and unexpected costs. I’ll discuss how businesses can protect these assets and relationships and remedy any misappropriation of them – all the while saving the business money in the long run.”

He has significant experience in non-compete, non-disclosure, and trade secret disputes, business and financial services industry disputes, franchise and dealerships, transportation and logistics industry disputes, construction, real estate, securities, and sales representative matters. He also advises start-up and closely held businesses, as well as sports and fitness industry members.
He is a frequent speaker on non-compete and trade secret issues and has authored and contributed to numerous publications (both national and local) regarding the same.
