Securities Industry Disputes
Securities industry disputes can be complex, lengthy matters lasting years. When complications arise, having a lawyer like Douglas Stone means you can avoid the bureaucratic layers of larger law firms so your dispute is quickly resolved.
Breach of contract
When a person or firm breaks a promise made by contract, the other party may take action to exercise their rights. The injured party may seek:
- Compensatory damages
- Consequential damages
- Liquidated damages
- Punitive damages
Non-compete agreements
Many companies require employees to sign non-compete agreements. Non-compete agreements are designed so that ex-employees will not use trade secrets to assist competitors or start their own businesses. These agreements may also stipulate how long an employee must wait to work for another company in the same field.
Non-solicitation agreements
Similar to non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements restrict old employees from using company resources to their advantage when working for a new company. Non-solicitation agreements are made so that an employee will not try to woo clients away from his or her previous employer.
Discrimination
Workplace discrimination (based on factors such as gender, sexual orientation, or race) affects thousands of individuals in New York and Connecticut every year. While no one expects to have perfect relationships with every colleague, employees are entitled to receive fair treatment.
