Deel is stirring the pot in its legal battle with rival Rippling by requesting information from the Irish court. They want unredacted witness affidavits, including one from former Rippling employee Keith O’Brien, who admitted to spying for Deel. Rippling’s lawsuit against Deel alleges misappropriation of trade secrets and other offenses, while Deel countersued, claiming Rippling was also spying on them.
In a surprising twist, Rippling fired O’Brien but then paid him a termination fee and agreed to cover his legal expenses in exchange for his cooperation. Deel is pushing for full disclosure of these agreements, highlighting the unusual situation of a fired employee becoming a paid witness.
Tech and VC heavyweights are getting involved in the Disrupt 2025 agenda, adding to the drama of the situation. Both sides maintain their innocence while pointing fingers at each other. It remains to be seen how the court will rule, but if more details of O’Brien’s testimony and the agreements are made public, it will make for interesting reading.
Correction: Deel has not formally filed a motion yet, but they plan to do so in the future.
