We have expertise handling the hiring and resignation of “key” employees. Specifically, if you are an executive or professional with clients or customers contemplating a move, you need the professional assistance of an employment law firm such as ours. We will examine the terms of any employment agreements and consider any possible fiduciary duties to properly represent you as you transition from one employer to another. Do you have a client base? We have successfully represented sales and other professionals as they move their practices and books of business to different offices.

In one case, we helped our very successful financial advisor set up his own office as he left his former employer despite numerous threats of litigation from the former employer. It was alleged that he had fiduciary duties and could not contact or solicit his existing clientele at his old office. Based on our professional advice, no litigation occurred.

In another matter, a top insurance professional moved to a different office. The former employer sued our client and attempted to bring a court injunction preventing him from servicing his clients. Mr. Dyson successfully defended the insurance professional ensuring that the injunction was not successful.

In another case, the regional president of an international firm resigned his employment and started up a business in competition with his former employment. His former employer attempted to obtain an injunction which effectively would have shut down the new firm. The former employer alleged that the regional president had certain fiduciary duties that the new business breached. We successfully defended the owner of the new business, stopped the injunction and helped place the new firm on the path of success.

Are you a successful professional or executive with a client base that is planning a move? We’re ready to help you navigate this exciting new chapter in your business.
