Law firm sues former publisher
- Share via
Former book publisher Judith Regan, who in January settled a lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. for an undisclosed sum, was sued by her former lawyers, who say she fired them after the settlement and owes them legal fees.
In a complaint filed in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, the law firm, Dreier, alleges Regan retained it to represent her in February 2007 and agreed to pay 25% of any money she recovered as a result of a judgment or settlement.
Dreier represented Regan in a suit related to her dismissal in 2006 from News Corp. and its HarperCollins Publishers. Regan was fired after her plans to publish a controversial book by O.J. Simpson were scrapped.
