The Appellate Division upheld a jury award and sided with a female engineer and the company she helmed in an appeal brought by a national architecture firm that offered her ownership and management interest in a newly created business only to pull its support just as the company was getting off the ground.

Jacklyn Flor was working as a civil engineer in the public sector with T&M Associates when she was approached by Greenberg Farrow Architectural, a private-sector engineering firm based in Atlanta, in 2015. The company first offered her employment in the firm’s Red Bank office, but when Flor declined, Greenberg Farrow offered to financially back a new company where Flor would have 51% in ownership and management interest. Part of that offer was a guarantee of financial support for the company, a yearly salary, and other benefits for a period of two years, according to the opinion.
