Summary
A Minnesota federal court partly granted U.S. Bank’s request for a preliminary injunction, barring a former employee from soliciting current staff to leave the bank.
Text messages recruiting former colleagues gave U.S. Bank a fair chance of succeeding on the merits of its breach claim under a confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement.
The court also found likely irreparable harm from damage to client relationships and said the balance of harms favored issuing the injunction.
