Amid a wave of departures, consulting firm AlixPartners has sued two former managing directors who recently defected to McKinsey & Company. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Delaware Chancery Court by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and Richards Layton & Finger, accuses former managing directors Eric Thompson and Ivo Naumann of breaching their employment agreements and stealing trade secrets.
AlixPartners specializes in advising clients on corporate turnarounds and restructurings. The defendants were the latest at the company to be picked off by McKinsey, which has recruited six other senior professionals from AlixPartners. Thompson, who joined McKinsey in March, was a managing director for AlixPartners in Hong Kong; Naumann, who will join McKinsey later this month, was a managing director in Shanghai. McKinsey is not named as a defendant.
