Dechert law firm asks judge to toss reporter’s hack-and-leak lawsuit
(Reuters) – Law firm Dechert asked a US judge to throw out a former Wall Street Journal reporter’s lawsuit accusing the firm of working with mercenary hackers to leak private emails and get him fired from his job. Dechert argued in a Washington, DC, federal court filing late Friday that the lawsuit was untimely because it relates to events that occurred more than five years ago. The complaint by reporter Jay Solomon also does not show that Dechert was responsible for the harm he faced, the firm said.

Perez co-authored an article in Thomson Reuters Practical Law’s The Journalentitled “Restrictive Covenants: Ethical Issues for Attorneys.” Following is an excerpt: Companies across the US commonly use non-compete agreements and other restrictive covenants to protect the company’s legitimate business interests.
