: Legal Pad | LAAttorneys for retired NFL players sued by their clients
By Richard Binder
Two plaintiff classes of retired NFL players are claiming that their attorneys failed to adequately represent them in a breach of contract lawsuit against the NFL Players Association. The players allege, in the underlying action, that the NFLPA neglected to pursue licensing opportunities for retired players, choosing instead to focus on current players.
The players received a settlement in the underlying action of more than $26 million, but they claim they would have had more if their attorneys from McKool Smith and Manatt, Phelps and Phillips had presented a pivotal email exchange.
The players demand punitive damages for malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty. They are represented by Maxwell Blecher with Blecher and Collins of Los Angeles.
