Maurice Wutscher’s Brady Hermann Quoted About Broker’s Client Solicitation Dispute

Aug. 6, 2021 — Maurice Wutscher attorney Brady Hermann is quoted in an AdvisorHub article regarding a client solicitation dispute in U.S. District Court in Oregon between an investment management firm and a broker it previously fired.
The investment manager is seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent the broker from soliciting former clients.
Mr. Hermann, who is not involved in the case, said brokers must tread carefully when speaking to former customers.
“If [he] simply provided his new contact information, that likely would not be considered a solicitation,” he said. “However, if during the conversation he discussed the benefits of moving their account, or the benefits his new employer can provide that [the former manager] cannot, that could certainly be viewed as a solicitation.”
