New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on Thursday a settlement with one of the largest title insurance underwriters, Stewart Title Guaranty Corporation (Stewart), ending harmful no-poach agreements between Stewart and its competitors and requiring Stewart to pay $2.5 million for its wrongdoing.
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) discovered that Stewart and its competitors agreed not to take each other’s workers, an illegal practice that reduces workers’ earning potential.
