A global entertainment production company, defended by one of the nation's largest law firms, moved to force the firm's client out of court and into private arbitration based on an agreement signed seasons earlier.

The client's current season contract was a complete, integrated agreement that committed all disputes to the Los Angeles courts. After multiple rounds of briefing, the court agreed and denied the motion. The case stays in court, in front of a jury.
The firm has represented clients in maritime, commercial trucking, and life-altering automobile cases, confronting powerful defendants and their insurers, exposing bad faith practices, and securing substantial settlements that stand among the best in the field.
