Reid Collins Successfully Resolves Partnership Dispute Involving Emerald Lake Capital Management Following Two-Week Arbitration
Reid Collins represented Carling O’Brien, a former partner and co-founder of Emerald Lake Capital Management, in an arbitration proceeding against Emerald Lake, Dan Lukas, and others. O’Brien alleged that Lukas improperly terminated her for cause in a bad-faith scheme to confiscate her valuable partnership stake and carried interest grants. The Reid Collins team, led by Managing Partner Lisa Tsai and Ryan Goldstein, tried the case in a two-week arbitration hearing in Los Angeles in August and September 2023. After the three-judge panel issued an Interim Award in March 2024, the parties successfully settled their dispute on confidential terms in May 2024.
