A California venture capitalist who has admitted to bribing New York state pension officials has sued Gibson Dunn & Crutcher over $1.3 million in fees the firm seeks for representing him during the investigation that precipitated that admission.
Elliott Broidy’s lawsuit—filed March 15 in Los Angeles Superior Court—comes in response to a Gibson Dunn motion to have an arbitrator in New York resolve the fee dispute between the two parties (NYLJ, Feb. 18). Mr. Broidy wants the disagreement handled in California.
