Wirehouse Sues Registered Investment Advisory Firm

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC: 

A battle between Wells Fargo Advisors and a former employee turned ugly when emails leaked showing the employee purportedly had funneled business to his new firm, while still employed at Wells Fargo.

Wells Fargo accuses the rep of funneling business for eight months before he officially left the company. He is alleged to have breached his fiduciary duty and to have engaged in a “civil conspiracy.” Wells Fargo is asking for more than $1.7 million in damages.
