The Appellate Division affirmed the motion court's determination that there is personal jurisdiction over the defendant, pursuant to CPLR 302(a)(1). The complaint, as supplemented by plaintiff's affidavit and the
contracts at issue, alleges that the defendant breached an employment
agreement that was substantially negotiated in New York, where
defendant's principal place of business was located. While the plaintiff was based in Boston, he regularly traveled to New
York in the discharge of his duties pursuant to the employment agreement,
including reporting to the defendant's chair and controlling shareholder who was based in New York.
