Source Evidence
Source text
We do believe that during the interim period between Engineer A's being given notice of termination and his actual cessation of employment, Engineer B had an obligation, during negotiations with a prospective client, to inform the client of Engineer A's pending termination.

Text references
That could easily mislead potential clients into believing that Engineer A, noted as a key employee, would be available in the firm for consultation on future projects.
We do believe that during the interim period between Engineer A's being given notice of termination and his actual cessation of employment, Engineer B had an obligation, during negotiations with a prospective client, to inform the client of Engineer A's pending termination.
a requirement that Engineer B insert an addendum or an amendment in the brochure informing prospective clients that Engineer A would soon be leaving the firm is both impracticable and unnecessary.
