CASE

Kelly Woods and King Carter are recently married and famous, Kelly is the biggest social media star in the world (known and adored for her positivity and perfection) and King is a ladies man multi-millionaire singer/producer. They are seeking legal counseling because they are looking into possibly separating from each other and suing each other for defamation due to each posting information about the other on their Instagram pages, which has resulted in a loss of finances (and fans) for both of them. The reason behind the posts is King’s personal advisor, Neo, walked in on Kelly and King’s brother/manager, Jackson, in a compromising position. Since then, King has wanted nothing to do with Kelly. The problem is they have both just signed on to do a reality show about their marriage for $13M. They could be sued for breach of contract if they don’t stay married.

Information from the interview I made with KELLY :

She wants to keep her marriage .. or want half of her husband money if he want to divorce ..she wants us to reach king and make conversation with him and ask him to delete the posts he made ..

Requirement :

would like you to write a memo to the senior partner with the facts you learned from the interview. If possible, you may want to try to identify some possible causes of action that your client can bring or that can be brought against them now that you have spoken with them: Defamation (libel), Marital Separations in California (Divorce and Annulments), Breach of Contract, etc.

I leave it up to you on how you want to structure your memo. Just remember to be professional. Consider yourself a practicing attorney in a major firm.  You are letting the partner know 3 things: 1. A summary of the facts of the case 2. Whether or not you think we should represent the potential client (HINT: we should, you just need to explain why) 3. What the suggested next steps are for the firm in its representation – i.e. what if anything should we instruct our client about, what type of legal research needs to be done, any weaknesses in the case that must be overcome, any unanswered questions that need to be answered.

Attached, please find a copy of the Sta rWest Agreement, photos your clients posted about each other on Instagram (NOTE: The people in the pictures are NOT of either of your clients) and a copy of the pre-nuptial agreement.
