Poaching & Pipeline Theft

Protecting Your Team. Preserving Your Pipeline.

At BRODY | GAPP LLP, we help mortgage lenders and financial institutions prosecute and defend high-stakes poaching, solicitation, and pipeline theft cases. Whether a competitor has unlawfully raided your team—or you’re being accused of recruiting improperly—we bring the legal firepower and industry insight to protect your interests from all angles.

These matters often involve departing loan officers, branch managers, or groups taking rate sheets, customer data, pipeline reports, and other confidential assets, violating non-solicitation clauses, trade secret laws, and fiduciary duties. Our attorneys act fast to pursue or defend against injunctive relief, enforce or invalidate restrictive covenants, and secure favorable resolutions in complex litigation.

We also work proactively with clients to tighten internal policies and onboarding practices, ensuring that hiring and recruitment efforts are compliant, strategic, and shielded from liability.

Our Services Include:

  • Prosecution & Defense of Poaching Claims – Representing clients on both sides of poaching, solicitation, and trade secret litigation.
  • Emergency Injunctions & TROs – Fast-track court orders to protect pipelines, clients, and company data.
  • Non-Compete & Non-Solicitation Enforcement – Enforce or defend restrictive covenants with precision, in alignment with shifting state laws.
  • Pipeline Theft & Trade Secret Litigation – Investigate and litigate claims involving misappropriation of confidential loan or pricing data.
  • Policy & Process Optimization – Help clients design and implement defensible onboarding, recruiting, and offboarding protocols to reduce exposure and deter litigation.
