Latin Trap Star Paulo Londra Victorious in Legal Battle with Big Ligas, LLC
/
(Miami-Dade County, FL) September 8, 2021 – On September 1, 2021, In the Circuit Court Of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Judge William Thomas ruled that Latin Superstar artist Paulo Londra’s contract with Big Ligas ended on February 14, 2021, with Londra having no further recording obligations or future contractual grants to Big Ligas. Judge William Thomas stated in his 13 page written order that Big Ligas’s claim in the case “does not give the Big Ligas Defendants the right to control the personal services of Londra in perpetuity without his consent” and that Big Ligas’ position could “constitute an illegal restraint of trade and lead to absurd results.”
As a result, Londra is now free of any obligations to Big Ligas and can move forward in control of his own music, name, and likeness. This ruling follows an extensive nearly 2- year battle and legal exchange between Londra and Big Ligas. Londra’s heavy-hitting legal team is led by well-known veteran entertainment attorney, Helen Yu, Esq. (Yu Leseberg), lead trial counsel James Sammataro, Esq. and Brendan Everman, Esq. (Pryor Cashman) and Henry Self, Esq. (Harder, LLP).
At the root of the dispute was a deal memo allegedly entered into by Londra, who was duped into signing the document when he was told the document was a “prop” for the filming of a social media announcement early in Londra’s career when he was 19. The document of trickery contained terms which allegedly required Londra to give up his own rights to his name, his concert performances, recordings, and songwriting rights to a joint venture he co-founded with Salazar and Oviedo which they called Big Ligas LLC, who claimed they were the only controlling members of Big Ligas.
