Re: Confidential Information Release
I can't give you an answer based on the information that you have provided. There are various remedies for breach of confidences and defamation some of which may apply here. Everything depends on exactly what was said, by whom, and what agreements there may have been in place concerning the statements. If you would like to call and provide more specific information, I would be happy to discuss the matter further.
My firm handles matters of this type. If I can be of further help to you, call or email. If you remind me that the contact was through Lawguru, the first consultation will be free.
