She also counsels companies and executives in interpreting, enforcing and challenging noncompete agreements and responding to and asserting claims of trade secret misappropriation.

Morical also defends physicians and other professional service providers in professional licensing proceedings and has represented clients before Indiana’s Medical Licensing Board and Board of Accountancy.

“We are thrilled to welcome Alice. Her joining us is a true testament to the strength of our business litigation practice in Indianapolis,” said Kathy Osborn, partner and Indianapolis office leader. “She’s very involved in the local legal community and highly regarded by peers and judges alike. We are excited to see the impact she will have across the firm.”
