More than eight years after Major, Lindsey & Africa fired a star recruiter in its partner practices group, claiming that she was stealing trade secrets and sharing closely guarded job postings with competitors, the legal recruiting giant stands ready to collect more than $2.7 million in damages and attorney fees from her. But she stands ready to continue the fight, it appears.

On Tuesday, the Appellate Division, First Department, issued a terse opinion that called ex-employee Sharon Mahn, once a top worldwide revenue-generator for Major Lindsey, a “faithless servant.” The decision by a unanimous panel then upheld arbitrator Rosemary A. Townley’s 2014 opinion that ordered Mahn to disgorge $1.77 million in past-earned salary and commissions—an amount that included all of the compensation she’d earned during her four years at Major Lindsey.
