Heading: squier's employment with chambers-dobson

Text: In January 1983, pursuant to the employment agreement, Squier entered employment with Chambers-Dobson, where he served as an account executive, a personal lines or accounts manager, and a unit representative on the agency operations committee. One of Squier's responsibilities was marketing personal lines, which involved soliciting new customers and assisting present customers of Chambers-Dobson and which afforded Squier access to some 2,600 Chambers-Dobson customers. In 1987, Squier informed Chambers-Dobson that he wanted to purchase his former business and terminate his employment at Chambers-Dobson. When the parties were unable to agree, Squier terminated his employment on December 7, 1987, and started a new insurance agency without any preexisting accounts. Shortly after Squier started his new agency, at least 19 Chambers-Dobson customers transferred their insurance business, represented by 63 policies, to Squier in his new agency. Also, Squier was the agent for the issuance of new policies to at least 20 customers, formerly with the Squier-McCashland Agency and involved in the Chambers-Dobson purchase of that agency.
