Corporate Lawyer Needed for Legal Action Against a former customer (B2B Dispute)
We are seeking an experienced Business / Commercial Litigation Attorney to represent our company in a dispute involving partner misconduct, unfair competitive behavior, and economic damages resulting from the actions of a former employee and a business partner.
Context of the Case (Anonymized Overview)
Our company provides professional services and assigns team members to clients under monthly subscriptions and hourly service agreements.
A former employee engaged in actions that appear to violate professional ethics and may constitute tortious interference, unfair competition, breach of duty, or inducement by a third party. Shortly after resigning, this individual joined a partner company we had an active service relationship with. Following this event, the partner abruptly terminated their subscription and stopped purchasing additional work — despite previously stable engagement and positive performance.
This caused immediate financial harm and triggered a chain of cancellations from other active clients who were directly assigned to the former employee.
Relevant Facts (Fully anonymized)
The former employee previously attempted to bypass our company by engaging directly with prospects through private communication channels.
Upon resignation, the individual refused to disclose their new employer, citing reasons that were later proven false.
Shortly after, it became clear they had joined one of our partner companies while fully aware of their involvement with our firm.
This partner then ended our contract abruptly, canceling a significant monthly subscription and ceasing further work orders.
Other clients assigned to this individual discontinued services as well, generating considerable revenue loss.
We also incurred costs in publishing hiring ads, recruiting, screening, and onboarding replacement personnel.
Internal platform logs and communications indicate pre-existing conversations between the partner company and the former employee before their resignation.
A referral from a third party originally initiated the relationship between our company and the partner, and there was no non-solicitation clause at that time. (One was created later but does not retroactively apply.)
