"Last week, a lawsuit against Blank Rome finance partner James Cretella was filed by his former firm, Otterbourg P.C., for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent concealment, and unjust enrichment."
""He accepted [the bonus] knowing full well he was leaving and that he had perpetuated a scheme to try to hobble the Firm and bolster a competitor while conspiring with another exiting partner and concealing material facts that would have changed the Board's decision to give him a bonus.""
"During a forensic examination of Cretella's firm-issued and firm-paid phone, it was revealed that he allegedly engaged in "highly inappropriate and potentially unlawful personal conduct that Cretella engaged in during Firm-funded travel," that included texts messages with an "upscale dominatrix" known as "Goddess Kat.""
Otterbourg P.C. sued former Blank Rome finance partner James Cretella alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent concealment, and unjust enrichment. The complaint alleges Cretella concealed his impending departure while accepting a seven-figure bonus and solicited clients to move with him, actions characterized as a scheme to harm the firm and benefit a competitor. Forensic examination of a firm-issued phone allegedly showed inappropriate and potentially unlawful personal conduct during firm-funded travel, including communications with an "upscale dominatrix." Separate federal claims by firm leaders allege repeated unauthorized surveillance of their personal lives; Cretella moved to dismiss.
