Our clients put up a multi-million dollar letter of credit to secure The Three Tenors' performance fees which could be drawn on as soon as The Three Tenors had been on stage for a fixed period of time. Ticket sales were abysmal. The local promoters were unable to obtain an injunction to prevent the letter of credit from being drawn on. We successfully negotiated a reduced liability exposure for our clients. | |
