A former financial adviser at Fidelity Brokerage Services violated his agreement by soliciting former clients upon moving to J.P. Morgan Securities, a California federal judge ruled. Brett Rocine, who transitioned to J.P. Morgan from Fidelity, claimed innocence, yet the judge deemed his actions disingenuous, issuing a temporary restraining order to halt the use of Fidelity’s customer information, initiating an expedited arbitration process. Marc R. Lewis and Ryan B. Erickson of the Lewis & Llewellyn team represent Fidelity.
Fidelity’s success in court showcased Rocine’s breach of contract, prompting orders for the return of confidential information and setting the stage for legal proceedings in the Northern District of California. Check out the article from Law360 below to learn more.
