Quinn Emanuel has achieved a significant victory on behalf of our client Berkley Research Group (BRG)

Quinn Emanuel has achieved a significant victory on behalf of our client Berkley Research Group (BRG) after a nearly decade-long legal battle with competitor FTI Consulting. The dispute centred on three principals and several colleagues and clients leaving FTI to join BRG, which led to allegations of breach of contract, tortious interference, and violation of Massachusetts' unfair competition statute.

Initially, the trial resulted in an unfavorable jury verdict and judicial award. However, yesterday, the Massachusetts Appeals Court, in a unanimous decision authored by Justice Henry, overturned the judgment and dismissed the unfair trade practice damages, marking a substantial win for BRG.

The legal arguments involved complex issues related to restrictive covenants and Massachusetts Chapter 93A. This victory serves as a testament to our team's dedication and resilience in navigating a challenging legal battle to ultimately deliver a favorable result for our client. Congratulations to this stellar team, led by :Harvey Wolkoff, Aliki Sofis, Derek Shaffer, Stacylyn Doore, Rachel Frank, Kathleen Marini, Kelsey Sullivan, Michelle Wang, Jeff York, and Alex Loomis.
