Scott M. Dinner is a litigator who represents public and private companies in courts across the nation. He also advises employers regarding restrictive covenants, trade secret protection, and antitrust compliance.
I also advise employers on restrictive covenants and trade secret protection. This includes assisting companies in drafting or updating non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements, inevitable disclosure agreements, and non-solicitation agreements, as well as helping companies develop procedures to protect their trade secrets and confidential information. I frequently represent clients in cases involving unfair competition disputes, such as those involving business conspiracy, breaches of contract, and fiduciary duty claims.
I have extensive experience helping clients navigate class actions and other collective litigation. I began my career working exclusively on antitrust and consumer fraud class actions, and now leverage my experience to help clients successfully navigate these difficult disputes. I assist clients in navigating a range of complex antitrust regulations and laws. I have significant experience handling antitrust litigation matters, and also provide an array of counseling and advisory services to my clients.
This includes developing and implementing antitrust compliance and training programs, conducting audits to uncover potential exposure, and working with clients to implement effective sales and distribution strategies. I have an intimate familiarity with the reach of the federal Capper-Volstead Act, which creates an antitrust exemption for agricultural cooperatives, as well as the agricultural cooperative laws of numerous states.
The failure of a cooperative to comply with these laws can subject them, and their members, to substantial liability. My familiarity with these laws was gained through years of litigating their contours.
