Geveran Investments v. Irell & Manella CA2/8
Irell & Manella (Irell) appeals from the trial court’s order denying its motion to compel arbitration of an attorney fee dispute with Geveran Investments, Ltd. (Geveran), a non-signatory to the fee agreement. Irell argues the court erred by concluding the doctrines of agency, estoppel, and sham pleadings did not require the dispute be arbitrated. Because we conclude agency principles require the matter be arbitrated, we need not address Irell’s other contentions. We reverse the court’s order denying Irell’s motion to compel arbitration.
