Lil Wayne’s $20M Lawsuit Against Former Attorney Knocked Down
Litigation Partner John B. Harris is quoted on a recent ruling by the New York state appeals court that Lil Wayne cannot move forward with his $20 million lawsuit against his former longtime lawyer, Ronald Sweeney. John is quoted saying, “We’re pleased that the appellate court rejected Lil Wayne’s cynical attempt to avoid paying Ronald Sweeney for the work that Mr. Sweeney did for him. Mr. Sweeney will vigorously pursue his claims for payment and require Lil Wayne to appear in court to answer for his actions.”
The news was covered by various media outlets including AllHipHop, HipHopDX, Law360, The New York Law Journal, and Yahoo News. Along with John, Khasim Lockhart and Edward H. Rosenthal were part of the Frankfurt Kurnit team representing Ronald Sweeney.

Law.com quoted Holly Melton was quoted in a Law.com in an article discussing the Federal Trade Commission's consideration of a petition to revive the "Click to Cancel" rule. Ms. Melton analyzed the FTC's potential next steps following the rule's invalidation by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. She noted that when Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion in September to settle allegations of deceptive Prime subscription practices, the settlement document included language indicating that any future rulemaking on subscription cancellations would supersede the agreement's provisions. Mr. Melton emphasized that this language "reads like a deliberate placeholder—future-proofing the settlement for the reappearance of click to cancel," suggesting the commission anticipates reviving the rule in some form. She advised that businesses should maintain compliance with the rule's underlying principles, stating that "for advertisers and subscription-based businesses, the path forward is clear: provide transparent disclosures, obtain affirmative consent, and make cancellation as effortless as sign-up."
