A former Seven digital sales Âdirector is in the middle of a legal tussle between Seven and TEN networks.
The Australian reports Lisa Squillace, who has been hired by TEN to become network sales director, is fighting the non-compete period that would stop her joining before June 25. Her three months’ Ânotice from Seven ends on December 26.
Although not at the same executive level, the case echoes the tussle over former Seven sales boss James Warburton, hired to become CEO at TEN. That one in 2011 led to all kinds of dirty laundry airing in courtroom showdowns. The court eventually settled on a compromise date in between.
Lisa Squillace was succeeded by Katie Finney as Seven’s Director of Program Partnerships.
A trial will take place before December 20.
