Procopio Partner Mindy Morton has been recommended as one of the top global trade secrets law attorneys by World Intellectual Property Review (WIPR). Mindy was one of 45 attorneys from around the world named to the 2025 WIPR Global Trade Secrets list. WIPR separately named Mindy to its USA Trade Secrets list last year while also recognizing Procopio in the field.

WIPR says its research “focuses on practitioners capable of operating at a multi-jurisdictional or global level,” involving “complex cases [that] frequently involve international angles, diverse forums, and international arbitration, distinguishing them from more routine matters.” WIPR notes that trade secrets disputes “can carry geopolitical significance, with examples even drawing comments from U.S. presidents.”

Based in Procopio’s Silicon Valley office, Mindy leads Procopio’s Trade Secrets practice as well as its Health Care practice. Mindy focuses on intellectual property, data privacy, internet, and healthcare litigation. She helps companies from funded start-ups to public companies handle trade secret, privacy, copyright, trademark, patent, and complex commercial disputes. Mindy frequently assists with complex commercial litigation involving software contracts, intellectual property licenses, and non-compete agreements. In addition to managing litigation involving all matters of IP, Mindy serves on the steering committee for Sedona Conference’s Working Group 12 on trade secrets and co-chairs the ABA IP Section’s Trade Secrets Committee. She also serves on Procopio’s Management Committee.

Mindy was named to the IAM Patent 1000 list for her trade secrets litigation the last two years, and has long held a Martindale-Hubbell® AV Preeminent Rating. She was recently named the 2025 Meritas Woman of the Year, recognizing her for exceptional achievements, skill, leadership, and integrity and inspiring future women leaders in the legal industry. Meritas is a premier global alliance of 175 independent business law firms throughout the world.
