Bill Weinstein Sues Verve, Alleging Improper Ouster and Blocking Sale

The lawsuit accuses agency partners of violating the charter agreement and seeks to prevent the sale of Verve without Weinstein's participation.

Former Verve CEO Bill Weinstein has filed a lawsuit against the talent agency, alleging improper ouster and seeking to block the company from selling without his participation.
Weinstein accuses Verve partners Bryan Besser and Adam Levine of attempting to sell the agency and deny him his share of the proceeds, violating the agency's charter agreement.
The lawsuit claims Weinstein was terminated without notice, reason, or an opportunity to cure, in violation of Verve's operating agreement.
Verve's attorney denies the allegations, stating Weinstein's termination was for cause and criticizes his attempt to start his own agency.
Following Weinstein's departure, several agents and employees left Verve, with some joining Weinstein's efforts to start a new agency.
