NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Markets Group (www.marketsgroup.org), a leading worldwide conference promoter in the investment management industry, has filed a lawsuit against two former employees for alleged theft of trade secrets and using those secrets — some of them verbatim — to solicit Markets Group clients.
Primary allegations in the suit are misappropriation of trade secrets; breach of contract; unfair competition; tortious interference with advantageous business relationships; breach of fiduciary duty; and illegal conversion of Markets Group property.
Named as plaintiffs in the suit are Thomas Mallon, William McArdle, and Titan Investors LLC (www.titaninvestors-llc.com). The suit claims Mallon and McArdle had knowledge of and access to proprietary and confidential customer databases, lists and other information relating to Markets Group’s clients and used it launch a competing organization in violation of their employment agreements, the suit says. Titan also employs two other former employees of Markets Group, Dave Hoffman and Harrison Lane, according to Titan’s website.
The suit was filed in New York State Supreme Court for the County of New York. Markets Group, based in New York City, is the d/b/a of Latin Markets Brazil, LLC.
Further action in the case is pending. Markets Group is confident it will prevail and continue to provide unparalleled value within the investment management community.
