Entertainment lawyer and personal manager David M. Ehrlich and his affiliated company sued “major” recording artist Lauren Spencer-Smith in the Southern District of New York. She countersued Mr. Ehrlich. The claims arose from Ms. Spencer-Smith’s termination of Mr. Ehrlich and her refusal to pay the management and legal fees owed under the parties’ legal services and management agreements. After narrowing the case at the pleading stage, the firm won summary judgment holding Ms. Spencer-Smith liable for breaching both agreements, rejecting all of her claims, and declaring the agreements enforceable. The firm secured a $4,877,909 prejudgment attachment and a partial judgment of $3.5 million. Ms. Spencer-Smith filed for bankruptcy in Canada, staying Mr. Ehrlich’s motion for his legal costs totaling $3.5 million, which his agreements entitle him to recover. The matter is now pending in the Bankruptcy Court in Vancouver, Canada.
