Partner Richard Lee’s case involving the representation of a production company, Wesley Morris Entertainment, has been receiving some attention in what could be a precedent setting case. Last Friday, product-placement firm Brand-In Entertainment LLC urged a California appellate panel to force Wesley Morris to arbitrate claims that Brand-In failed to secure the $3 million in financing it promised for a television special featuring baseball superstars. Brand-In contends that language in previous contracts Wesley Morris has entered into should suggest a policy of arbitrating cases like this one. Richard Lee is adamantly contesting this position on behalf of Wesley Morris and is quoted in the Law 360 article that also provides a good overview of the case.
