CAA Sues Range Media Partners for Alleged Theft and Client Poaching

CAA claims former agents stole confidential information and violated California business laws to establish the rival firm Range Media Partners.

CAA alleges that former agents took confidential client data to form Range Media Partners, a competing management firm.
The lawsuit claims the agents used encrypted messaging apps and personal emails to avoid detection while still employed at CAA.
Range Media Partners is accused of posing as a management company to circumvent legal restrictions imposed on talent agencies.
CAA asserts that Range exploited a new WGA code of conduct to gain an unfair competitive edge in the market.
The suit seeks damages for contract interference, breach of fiduciary duty, and violation of California's Business and Professions Code.
