A tax lawyer's suit for fraudulent inducement against his former employer was revived Tuesday by a panel of the Appellate Division, First Department.

Steven Laduzinski alleged he was lured away from a job at J.P. Morgan in 2012 by a promise of a managerial post overseeing a high workload in the tax department of international consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal.

Laduzinski alleged Alvarez & Marsal was actually suffering from a sharp downturn in business at the time, and that his supervisors were more interested in exploiting the business contacts he had developed prior to taking the job.
