1 able to direct that you would get the legal work for
2 Silversea?
3 A. It took some doing, but yes.
4 Q. When you say "it took some doing," what do
5 you mean by that?
6 A. At the time that I was told that I was
7 going to be getting Silversea as a client and at
8 the time that I met Albert I was told by Albert that
9 there was another law firm representing Silversea at
10 the time and that he would have to go through some
11 maneuvers to have them fired.
12 Q. Do you know who that other law firm was?
13 A. Arent Fox.
14 Q. I know that there was a point in time where
15 there was some litigation between Arent Fox and
16 Silversea.
17 A. There was.
18 Q. Did that litigation result from Arent Fox's
19 termination as counsel to Silversea?
20 A. I don't specifically recall.
21 Q. So ultimately, though, Albert was able to
22 direct legal work to RRA. Correct?
23 A. Yes. Ultimately Arent Fox was terminated.
