The NSW Supreme Court has made orders on legal action taken by Lockton against two managers that joined rival broking company Aviso Specialty.

The filings last year against Patrick Moore and Steven Autrey related to Lockton’s concerns over contractual post-employment constraints.

Justice Francois Kunc said on March 3 that Mr Autrey had undertaken that until July 1 he would not, without the prior written consent of Lockton, solicit or accept any approach from any client or prospective client with a view to establishing a relationship with them or obtaining their custom with the Aviso companies.

Until September 22, Mr Autrey will not without consent solicit or endeavour to solicit any director, officer, employee, contractor or agent of Lockton that he knows personally, with the purpose of enticing them away or procuring their employment or engagement by Aviso.

On March 18, Justice Kunc said Mr Moore had also given those undertakings to the court.

The undertakings are in place of post-employment restraints contained in contracts dated August 2019.

The judge said that, by consent, the court dismissed both proceedings with no orders on costs.

Lockton has also filed action against Daniel Agostino, who left the business to join Aviso as an account director. A hearing in that matter is listed in the NSW court tomorrow before Justice Kate Williams.
