FARGO (AP) — Former employees of a Fargo-based engineering company who left to form their own firm reject allegations of corporate espionage.
The group of 21 former Ulteig Engineers employees has filed a countersuit seeking tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid fees.
A lawsuit filed by Ulteig accuses the former employees of taking company materials to start their own firm and of hatching a conspiracy on company time. Ulteig seeks unspecified money damages and a court order dissolving Apex Engineering Group.
Apex Engineering Group was selected to be the engineers on the wastewater treatment plant facility in Dickinson by the City Commission at a meeting on Monday and knew about the lawsuit.
The commission went against a commission committee’s recommendation to hire Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services.
Members of the appointed committee Shawn Kessel and Shawn Soehren said concern about the lawsuit weighed on their minds and was among a reason they recommended hiring Advanced.
