Experience
Representative Matters
Mr. Ramsey is currently representing or has represented:
· A production company in a breach of contract dispute. Phase I of the dispute centers on the interpretation of a contract provision granting the producer rights to produce and distribute a program. The rights holder claims that the producer's rights have expired; our client says otherwise. If the case proceeds past Phase I, the litigation will focus on various other claims, including trademark infringement, breach of contract, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To date, Mr. Ramsey has participated in drafting and opposing various motions, including cross-motions for summary judgment and motions in limine. He is also part of the team preparing for the impending trial.
· A telecommunications company in a consumer class action alleging that our client's rates were not adequately disclosed. Three copycat class actions have been filed: One was dismissed on summary judgment, the two others are facing dismissal in light of our client's motions to dismiss.
· A movie studio in a multi-million dollar accounting dispute involving the merchandising and promotion rights surrounding a well-known character. The case recently settled favorably. As part of the team representing the studio, Mr. Ramsey led a team of contract attorneys in compiling, reviewing, and analyzing evidence supporting one of our client's major claims. He also assisted in completing an ESI document review involving over one million documents.
