Congratulations to Attorneys Nicole Fournier-Gelston and Nancy Fitzpatrick Myers

Attorneys Nicole Fournier-Gelston and Nancy Fitzpatrick Myers secured a plaintiff's verdict on behalf of their client, Edible Arrangements International, Inc., in a hotly contested case following a jury trial in the United States District Court in Bridgeport.

Edible Arrangements brought suit against a former employee and a competitor, Incredible Franchise Corporation (IFC), after the former employee absconded with confidential business information of Edible Arrangements which he turned over to IFC. IFC denied that it knowingly received or used information that was confidential to EAI. The jury found that Edible Arrangements proved that IFC engaged in an unfair and deceptive trade practice and that IFC was unjustly enriched. The jury awarded both compensatory and punitive damages to Edible Arrangements.
