Quinn Emanuel New York partners Alex Spiro and Luke Nikas are defending tennis star Naomi Osaka and two of her family members in a suit by a Florida trainer, who alleges he is entitled to 20 percent of the athlete’s lifetime earnings.
Spiro and Nikas filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint of Christophe Jean, a coach in Pompano Beach, who claimed he’s owed for work with the athlete before she became one of the world’s top female tennis players.
