  • Foley Hoag Clears Way for Senior Financial Services Executive
    In one of the few decisions in the country on the enforceability of “garden leave” notice provisions, lawyers in Foley Hoag’s Litigation Department recently secured a favorable outcome for a senior-level financial executive whose former employer sought to block his departure from the company. In a recent ruling by Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton, U.S. District Judge for the District of Massachusetts, the employer’s motion for a preliminary injunction was denied. Partners Michael Boudett and Michael Rosen represented the client, the former head of the Boston office of Bear Stearns. Bear Stearns alleged that the executive violated his employment contract by failing to give 90-days’ notice before departure and by seeking to persuade clients and staff to follow his move to a competitor. In the ruling, Judge Gorton noted that plaintiff’s allegations of misappropriation of confidential information and interference with contractual and business relationships was unsubstantiated.
