Sublime Sues Top Music Law Firm For Legal Malpractice: ‘A Pattern of Self-Dealing’
The band claims that King Holmes Paterno & Soriano failed to disclose serious conflicts of interest. The firm’s top lawyer tells Billboard the case is “fantasyland.”
The rock band Sublime has filed a legal malpractice lawsuit against the prominent music law firm King Holmes Paterno & Soriano LLP, accusing its former attorneys of a “pattern of self-dealing” that was rife with conflicts of interest. “Despite holding themselves out to the public as highly experienced in the business side of music, … defendants engaged in a pattern of self-dealing that was rife with potential and actual, conflicts of interest.” In another incident, Sublime claims that Paterno and Carlone failed to disclose that they had negotiated producer credits and fees for themselves on a documentary about the band, allegedly creating another undisclosed conflict of interest.
