CAA Vs. Range Takes New Twists With Court Wins & Tactical Shifts As Arbitration Trial Set For Next Month
CAA Scores A New Court Win In Range Legal Battle, Arbitration Trial Set For March
Fighting tooth and nail to stop depositions in the ongoing arbitration between the uberagency and its former employees over sliced off vested equity, Range and its Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher lawyers were given a blow this week by a LA Superior Court judge, again. “In the morning, the State Court firmly rejected Range’s attempt to halt all discovery into its unlawful conduct, as alleged in CAA’s lawsuit,” the Paul Hastings lawyer details. Challenging the very notions of what it means to be a manager or an agent, the not unexpected suit last year by the Bryan Lourd-run CAA bluntly called out Ranger as allegedly being created via the pursuit of unlawful profit through deception.” Coming on top of the two years and counting arbitration battle that kicked off when CAA in October 2020 pulled the plug on lucrative vested equity by former staffers who had jumped to life on the range, the matters are now both independent of each other and intrinsically entwined – especially if Range founding documents and depositions by the likes of Micelli are provided in the former for the latter.
