NEW YORK Nearly a year after shuttering The Wolf Group, former chairman Larry Wolf is suing his ex-New York executive creative director Mike Rogers, alleging that he wooed clients and recruited employees before the office closed early last year.

The lawsuit, filed by Wolf Shevack Inc. in New York State Supreme Court on Nov. 24, asks for $10 million on four separate causes of action, including unfair competition and misappropriation of confidential information.

Wolf’s attorneys said in the suit that a review of the defendant’s e-mails reveal that Rogers, along with then director of client services Janique Helson, set up their current company, began poaching clients and employees before the office closed on Jan.
