Insurance broker Aon won another round in its ongoing dispute with Alliant Insurance Services Inc. over the poaching of business and employees, which allegedly did serious harm to Aon’s Construction Services Group.
Aon won a preliminary injunction against Newport Beach, Calif.-based Alliant in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan on Dec. 20, barring former Aon employee Michael Cusack and Alliant from soliciting business from, or entering into any business with, Aon customers with whom any former Aon employees now with Alliant had worked. It also bars Alliant from soliciting any Aon Construction Services employees to come to work for the company.
In his decision, Justice Bernard J. Fried found Cusack—and others—violated their non-compete agreements when they left Aon and joined Alliant.
