Mega Edition: Leon Black And the Motion To Hit Wigdor/Jeanne Christensen With Sanctions (Part 1-2) (2/10/26)

In Case No. 1:23-cv-06418, defendant Leon Black filed a memorandum supporting his motion for sanctions against Wigdor LLP and attorney Jeanne Christensen. Black contends that the plaintiff's legal team pursued baseless claims, lacking factual and legal merit, with the intent to damage his reputation and coerce a settlement. He argues that their actions constitute an abuse of the judicial process, warranting sanctions to deter such conduct and uphold the integrity of the court.

Black's memorandum details instances where he believes Wigdor LLP and Christensen failed to conduct adequate investigations before filing the lawsuit, resulting in frivolous and defamatory allegations. He asserts that their behavior violates professional conduct standards and has caused him significant harm. Consequently, Black requests that the court impose appropriate sanctions, including financial penalties and disciplinary measures, to prevent similar misconduct in the future.
