Stark & Stark Shareholder Comments on Goldman Sachs Suit
Thomas B. Lewis, Chair of Stark & Stark's Employment Group, was quoted in the February 19, 2010 On Wall Street article, Goldman Drops Case Against Former Advisors. The article discusses Goldman Sachs' recent decision to drop their case against five former financial advisors and two support staff members (David Greene, Craig Savage, Andrew Thompson, Sharran Srivatsaa, John Pitt, Stephanie Dennard and Kim Tyson). The suit accused the advisors of breaching their non-solicitation agreements by moving to rival firm, Credit Suisse, and attempted to take their clients with them.
Mr. Lewis states that these types of cases are typically settled quickly and the firm who poached the advisors will often agree to pay a portion of the revenue generated by any of the accounts that the advisors’ transferred over for a period of 12 months to their prior firm.
