Bilal is a trial attorney with nearly two decades of experience representing clients in high-stakes, complex commercial disputes, often stemming from failed deals, unfair competition, and governance breakdowns. He is frequently called to advise on “corporate divorces,” where once-promising business relationships have turned adversarial and the financial and reputational risks are highest. His clients span a range of industries, including technology, life sciences, health care, financial services, and industrial, and include early-stage companies, Fortune 500 companies, private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, executives, and boards. Bilal has significant experience in trade secret misappropriation and restrictive covenant litigation, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in federal and state court proceedings involving emergency injunctive relief, misappropriation claims under the Defend Trade Secrets Act and state law, and the enforcement of noncompetition, nonsolicitation, and no-hire agreements in the post-employment and sale-of-company context. He regularly counsels clients on protecting trade secrets and valuable information in connection with employee transitions, corporate transactions, and competitive threats.
