Business Deal with spiral stairs in BackgroundWe know being arrested for federal Corporate Espionage in South Florida can be difficult. Stealing or misappropriating a trade secret is a federal offense that can result in serious penalties. 

Though this is quite a serious offense, luckily you are not alone. We have ample experience dealing with these types of white collar cases and are well-equipped to handle even the most extensive charges.

What is a Federal Corporate Espionage Crime? 

Corporate Espionage is the act of espionage or using espionage techniques conducted for financial or commercial purposes. Other terms used to describe Corporate Espionage include “industrial espionage,” “economic espionage,” or “corporate spying.” This includes the unlawful targeting or acquisition of sensitive financial, trade, or economic policy information, proprietary economic information, or technological information. 

Under the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (EEA), 18 U.S.C. § 1831, “economic espionage” is defined as the theft or misappropriation of a trade secret with the intent or knowledge that the offense will benefit any foreign government, foreign instrumentality, or foreign agent.

  • A trade secret includes all forms of business, scientific, technical, economic, or engineering information. In essence, this includes a company/organization’s intellectual property — intangible creations of the mind which have been patented, trademarked, or copyrighted.

Industrial Espionage includes the theft of trade secrets by the removal, copying, or recording of confidential or valuable information for use by a competitor, while economic espionage may often be sponsored by any foreign government, foreign instrumentality, or foreign agent.

CONSEQUENCES OF FEDERAL CORPORATE ESPIONAGE

The criminal charges for corporate espionage in Fort Lauderdale are not to be taken lightly; even the theft or misappropriation of trade secrets by a competitor — not a foreign or government entity — lead to severe charges. 

The act of receiving, purchasing, or possessing a trade secret known to have been stolen or misappropriated, as well as any attempt or conspiracy to commit economic espionage are punishable as a federal crime under the economic Espionage Act of 1996 (EEA), 18 U.S.C. § 1831-1839.  

Anyone convicted of theft of trade secrets, as defined under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1832, will face up to 10 years of federal imprisonment, while the fines associated — along with the jail time — vary on whether it is an individual charged or an organization.

  • Organizations face a fine of up to $5 million or 3 times the value of the stolen trade secret.

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
