Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. (p/k/a Lil Wayne) sued his former entertainment lawyer in New York Supreme Court. Mr. Carter terminated the lawyer, who is claiming tens of millions of dollars in unpaid legal and purported management fees. Through multiple rounds of motion practice and discovery in this seven-year long action (which included a separate federal action in California that the firm successfully dismissed), the Court found that Mr. Carter was entitled to proceed on his declaratory judgment claim. The firm also achieved dismissal of all of the former lawyer’s counterclaims, except a single claim in quantum meruit, substantially narrowing or eliminating his potential recovery.
