Meanwhile, a now-former employee of both companies has sued Resolution after working for it for just more than one month.

Resolution claims that ICM Partners has “launched a nuisance correspondence offensive” against it by sending “a number” of claim letters for commissions earned by Resolution agents who once worked for ICM Partners.

Unlike claims for commissions on deals made while an agent was still working for a former company, Resolution’s suit appears to be proactive in attempting to prevent claims that might be filed on deals that have yet to be made.

Resolution, in its complaint, says ICM Partners attempts to stake claims on “some deals that have been or will be negotiated on behalf of clients by former employees …who are currently employed by [Resolution].”

It asks for a judicial determination that Resolution owes “no duty whatsoever” to ICM Partners with respect to commissions, and “eliminate the nuisance and burden of the intermittent flow of claim letters asserting commission controversies that are never resolved.”

Resolution also seeks court costs and unspecified relief. It’s not the only legal tussle for the company in recent weeks – it’s the defendant in another case, filed by a former agent who claims he was unfairly terminated and the target of disability discrimination, among other things.

Martin Beck, who came to Resolution from ICM Partners, filed a claim Sept. 19 alleging breach of oral contract, disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and fraud and deceit.

Court documents filed in the case air some unsupported dirty laundry accusing Berg and partner Jeff Franklin of, among other things, poaching agents and clients from ICM Partners, overbidding on contracts and leaving the fledgling company broke and unable to make payroll.

Beck maintains he began work for Resolution June 20 and requested a revised written employment contract that Franklin verbally agreed to but never finalized, including allowances to accommodate for an unspecified medical condition.

When Beck was unable to secure client Frankie Valli for Resolution, he claims the company began a campaign of harassment and terminated Beck Aug. 2.

Beck seeks $350,000 plus legal costs and penalties under the Fair Employment Act.
