Employee Raiding Disputes in New Jersey and New York
In virtually every business, there are key employees who possess vital information that is of utmost value to the business — information regarding client lists that took years to develop, or information regarding complex formulas of the company's product or other trade secrets. When a competitor company hires such individuals, it can be considered a form of unfair competition — that the company was intentionally hiring those with intimate knowledge of a competitor's business simply for the purposes of leveraging their own business or harming the competitor.
