I’m interested to see if McGuire stays “independent” or signs up with a larger firm (maybe Blue like Segal?).

It seems that McGuire will be ok with his departure. I don’t think we will be seeing another Steinberg/Dunn situation

after reading the sbj article on it, it looks like he can walk and take what clients he wishes. they mention, on several occasions that he has a “seperation agreement” which likely spells out the terms of what he can do and can’t do…

Some guys like McGuire have clauses in their contract that if certain execs leave the parent company, they can walk as well and take all the clients they wish.

Tom Condon had a clause in his at IMG that allowed him to walk and take every IMG client with him.

McGuire could be sued, but it wouldn’t stop him from taking clients, or clients following him.

I wonder if Fletcher is going to leave as well, Ken and Fleth were very close and I couldn’t see one leaving and one staying.

Can McGuire expect a lawsuit if the majority of his 17 clients leave CSMG to go with him? I know this happened in a similar case a couple of years back with a big NFL agent.
