Two well-known personal injury law firms in Boston are suing each other. Here's why.
Briefly

Sokolove Law filed suit against former employee Keith Glover and Jason Stone Injury Lawyers alleging theft of trade secrets and proprietary digital operations materials. The complaint alleges Glover copied an internal website and procedural documents, then brought them to JSIL after joining that firm. Sokolove alleges JSIL used the materials to expand rapidly from a roughly 20-person, two-office firm to nearly triple its size. Investigation records reportedly show a "digital signal" and more than 53,000 unauthorized uses over two years, with daily access by JSIL employees across offices. The complaint also alleges misuse of branding and marketing materials.
“the wholesale theft of a business model.”
“from a mattress salesman into a six-figure legal operations professional”
"Before Defendants' unlawful use of Sokolove's trade secrets, JSIL was a 20-person firm with two offices," the complaint reads. "Fueled by Sokolove's trade secrets, JSIL has nearly tripled in size since Glover handed over the stolen materials."
Sokolove claims that by using the trade secrets, JSIL created a "digital signal" alerting the firm's servers, leaving records of more than 53,000 unauthorized uses of the information within the past two years.
