Summary
A New York federal judge partly granted Cuesta Partners’ request for a preliminary injunction against a former principal on breach-of-contract claims tied to his employment agreement.
More than 40,000 confidential files were downloaded before he resigned to join competitor Leo Berwick AI, leading the court to find violations of Cuesta’s nondisclosure and company-property return provisions.
The judge said disclosure of confidential client and business information could cause irreparable harm, supporting injunctive relief while the case proceeds.
