Addison Hospitality Group Wins Temporary Restraining Order Against Former Employees Jason Kaciupski and Heather Conover of Event Venues NYC


NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Addison Hospitality Group (AHG) has been granted the first prong of its application for immediate equitable relief, as New York County Supreme Court has issued a temporary restraining order against former employees, Jason Kaciupski and Heather Conover of Event Venues NYC. 

The temporary restraining order prohibits Jason Kaciupski, Heather Conover, and Event Venues NYC from raiding and soliciting AHG's clients or engaging in any contact with AHG's client database, as alleged in the initial complaint for violating their respective nondisclosure agreements and/or misappropriating trade secrets.  The Court has scheduled a hearing on March 29, 2018 on the second prong to convert the temporary restraining order to a preliminary injunction.   

The lawsuit was filed on January 30th in New York County Supreme court for breach of their nondisclosure-confidentiality agreements and tortious interference.  The complaint alleges that the two colluded to create a competing events booking business, Event Venues NYC, while still employed by AHG, poaching hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of business from the hospitality group.  Kaciupski and Conover were employed by Addison Hospitality Group since May 2016 and May 2017, respectively.  Conover was previously an events director for Sky Room, while Kaciupski was an events manager at the Diamond Horseshoe and the Standard Hotel.  Addison Hospitality Group is seeking $1m in compensatory and punitive damages.

Addison Hospitality Group is represented by William F. Fitzgerald of Messner Reeves LLP.
