Mintz v. Bartehtein, et al, [No. CV 12-02554 (CD. Cal. 08/14/2012)] involved a sports agent, Aaron Mintz, who previously had worked for defendant for 11 years before accepting a position with a competitor. Plaintiff sought a declaratory judgment stating that his former contract, which contained a post-employment restrictive covenant, was unenforceable as a violation of California's public policy. Defendants then filed a counterclaim alleging that Mintz had misappropriated trade secrets and conspired with his future employer to steal clients.
