Fort Lauderdale competition lawyer Jonathan Pollard has been selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers for the second consecutive year. Pollard, principal of Pollard PLLC, focuses his practice on non-compete, trade secret and trademark litigation.
Pollard began his career at the litigation powerhouse Boies, Schiller & Flexner and launched his own practice five years ago. Since that time, he has racked up a string of significant victories in complex non-compete and trade secret disputes and beyond. Notable results include:

He has recently appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, FundFire, Digital Guardian, IP Watchdog and on PBS News Hour. He routinely speaks at local and national conferences and presents continuing legal education courses to other attorneys.
