Wachtell Lipton Reasserts Arbitration Bid in $90M X Corp Dispute

In recent legal proceedings, the law firm Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz has reaffirmed its effort to steer a disagreement concerning X Corp., previously known as Twitter, into arbitration. The dispute revolves around an estimated $90 million retainer.

The argument with X Corp., a social media company now owned by Elon Musk, concerns the firm’s interpretation of their arbitration clause in their legal agreement, a reading that Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz has criticized as “often-tried, often-rejected”. This renewed attempt to move the dispute into arbitration was outlined in a new brief filed earlier in the week by the law firm.
