ZEISLER PLLC and its attorneys Aaron Zeisler, Meghan Sullivan and Sumana Wolf recently secured the dismissal of all trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract and unfair competition claims in an arbitration in New York brought by Bridgewater Associates against two former employees four years after they left Bridgewater. The arbitration panel’s Final Award (i.e., decision) “conclude[d] [Bridgewater] filed its claims in reckless disregard of its own internal records, and in order to support its allegations of access to trade secrets, manufactured false evidence” and ordered Bridgewater to pay $2 million in attorneys’ fees and costs for having brought its misappropriation claims in bad faith.
