Raij Discusses Sterling's Decision to Transfer Ownership of Clippers to Wife

Partner Irwin Raij was quoted in a Los Angeles Times article published on May 23, 2014, titled “Sterlings Plan a Shift in Clippers Ownership.” The article discussed Los Angeles Clippers Owner Donald Sterling’s decision to transfer ownership of the team to his wife, who would then have the responsibility of negotiating the sale of the team. Raij was quoted saying, “One could read this action as sending a message to the commissioner.” He further noted, “The commissioner said he did not want to turn this dispute into a protracted situation. And this is their way to say, ‘We got your point. We are throwing an idea against the wall to get some reaction to it.'”
