Former Citibank Advisor Agrees To Non-Solicit Ban After Departing Morgan Stanley

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law:

A former New York-based Citigroup advisor has agreed to a client solicitation ban after recently departing Citigroup to join Morgan Stanley.


Andrey Borodkin, who departed Citi Personal Wealth Management for Morgan Stanley in February 2022, agreed to a stipulated injunction restricting him from soliciting his former clients. The injunction additionally barred Borodkin from utilizing any client contact information he had obtained at Citigroup to contact former clients. However, Borodkin still will be permitted to solicit family members and other clients he had advised prior to joining Citigroup, according to the court filing.


As of March 16, Borodkin allegedly had transferred at least $74 million in client assets to Morgan Stanley, according to Citigroup. Citigroup alleged that Borodkin “repeatedly” attempted to solicit at least seven former clients while four clients informed the firm that Borodkin “tried to convince them to move with him by suggesting that no one at Citi was monitoring or familiar with their accounts.” In 2017, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley both withdrew from the Protocol for Broker Recruiting, which is an industry agreement that permits advisors to solicit and do business with their former clients when transitioning between member firms.
