Howden US Tells Judge Brown & Brown Employees Fled Due to ‘Mistreatment’
Howden US has responded to a lawsuit filed by Brown & Brown, claiming that employees left Brown & Brown due to "mistreatment" and "terrible management" rather than a "pirate raid." Howden US asserts that the employees were unhappy with their former employer's corporate culture, compensation, and reporting, and denies allegations of trade secret theft or unfair competition. Howden US also highlights that Jim Hays, a former Brown & Brown executive now with Howden Group Holdings, is a plaintiff in the case despite being accused of complicity in the alleged poaching, and claims Hays' financial interest in Brown & Brown makes the allegations against him illogical.
