DAT Solutions and digital freight brokerage Convoy have dismissed their lawsuits against each other, following a confidential out-of-court settlement. The legal battle, which began in January 2022, revolved around allegations of breach of contract and theft of trade secrets from DAT, and counterclaims of illegal trade restraint by Convoy. The recent agreement leaves DAT's noncompete and exclusivity clauses formally intact but the implications for current DAT customers remain uncertain.
