The Leap Group has filed a lawsuit against three former executives of the company’s YAR Communications subsidiary who were dismissed following the sale of YAR’s biggest account.
In the suit, the Chicago holding company and YAR accuse YAR’s founders, Yuri and Anna Radzievsky, and a former employee, Greg Fomin, of “breaches of fiduciary duty.” The suit seeks compensatory damages of $4.2 million and punitive damages of $9 million.
The lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, also charges the Radzievskys with “tortious interference” in Leap’s sale of the bulk of its One World Communications subsidiary to Young & Rubicam.
