Outcome
Overview
Two departing executives left to launch a competitor, taking a client roster and proprietary pricing models with them.
The matter
Within days of resigning, two senior executives began soliciting Lumen's clients using pricing models and contact lists they had downloaded on their way out — a direct threat to the business's core revenue.
Our strategy
We moved within a week for a temporary restraining order, secured forensic images of the executives' devices, and used the evidence to convert the TRO into a preliminary injunction.
The result
The court enjoined the executives from using the stolen materials or soliciting protected clients. The matter settled with a payment to Lumen and a permanent injunction entered on consent.
