PQA Negotiates Favorable Settlement for Client in Employment Matter

Within a span of less than two months, PQA attorneys Kenneth E. Pringle and Denise M. O’Hara resolved a complicated employment matter on behalf of a client who had been sued by a former employer and fired from her job by a subsequent employer. After working for one company for twelve years, in early 2008 the client left to take a higher paying job at a second company. The first company claimed that the client breached a covenant not to compete and sued both the client and the second company that subsequently hired her. Upon being named in the suit, the second company immediately fired the client. The suit sought to impose harsh and unreasonable restrictions on the client’s ability to obtain employment, as well as to recover compensatory damages and punitive damages against the client. By taking an aggressive approach at the outset of the lawsuit, PQA attorneys were able to negotiate a favorable settlement that allowed the client to obtain employment with minimal restrictions and to resolve the matter without payment of any fees to the company for its alleged damages.
