1Opinion of the Court
MATHESON, Circuit Judge.
First Western Capital Management (“FWCM”), an investment management company, and its parent company First Western Financial, Inc. (collectively, “First Western”), sought a preliminary injunction against former employee Kenneth Ma-lamed for misappropriating trade secrets. The district court excused First Western from demonstrating irreparable harm— one of the four elements a party seeking injunctive relief is typically required to prove—and granted the injunction. Mr. Malamed appeals. Exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), we reverse.
