Mariner ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ïalth Advisors Request Temporary Halt to Edelman's Poaching and Defamation Lawsuit

Mariner ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ïalth Advisors Request Temporary Halt to Edelman's Poaching and Defamation Lawsuit

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï 

Mariner ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ïalth Advisors has sought a court order to temporarily halt a lawsuit filed by Edelman Financial Engines, alleging that Mariner poached advisors and misappropriated trade secrets.

Mariner argues that Edelman already has similar issues pending in arbitration cases and another lawsuit against the advisors named in the suit against Mariner. Financial Advisor News contends that pausing the lawsuit would promote judicial economy and prevent potentially inconsistent results.

In its suit, Edelman accuses Mariner of damaging its reputation, poaching advisors, and running Edelman out of business. Mariner counters that the advisors joined the firm willingly and separately over the past three years. Mariner asserts that Edelman's accusations are baseless and part of an unlawful campaign to stifle competition in the industry.

 

ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï LLC represents investors and financial advisors nationwide in securities, employment, transition, regulatory, and disciplinary matters.
