Legal coverage in the event of quitting?
I am a named defendant in a suit involving my previous employer against my old boss and new company. If I quit is my new employer obliged to provide me with legal representation at their expense even though I am no longer working with them? This is a publicly traded company and the suit is interfering with my day to day sales activities as a result of a TRO. I am concerned that I may be obliged to hire my own attorney at my expense if I quit .
Re: Legal coverage in the event of quitting?
Ditto - you need your own representations (at least to evaluate the matter and see if the company's attorney is handling things appropriately).
Your employment contract may also be useful in determining whether the company will continue to fund your defense.
The Homeowner's insurance ( or any other business insurance you may have) is also worth looking at. There's no harm in asking the insurance company if they'll cover you...
Good luck
