UBS Reverses Non-Solicitation Language for 2017 Bonuses
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
UBS has announced that it is reversing an announcement last week that 7,000 brokers will be required to sign a 12-month non-solicitation agreement if they want to receive their 2017 bonuses.
Instead, UBS is replacing the non-solicitation language and reverting to the previous standard, which required a 12-month non-solicitation period only if departing advisor did not pay back debts owed to the firm.
Nonetheless, UBS pledges to add more restrictions to next year’s bonus agreement. As a result, those agreements will need to be carefully reviewed.
