Aon asking for $54mn in hiring dispute

Aon is chasing $54mn in compensation following the reduction of its central California team by nearly 80 employees. Aon has said that the departures, which were all over the space of 72 hours in 2014, caused the company to lose more than 51% of its business. Alliant is the main focus of Aon’s claim who are arguing that, after Alliant recruited 75 of its employees, they lost over 1000 pieces of business and completely lost their exposure in Fresno, Salinas and Walnut Creek. Aon are also claiming the loss of its employees was conducted by a former Aon regional head.
