The attorneys representing former employees of Washington’s NFL team asked Commissioner Roger Goodell and the team owners to prohibit Daniel Snyder from suing his accusers who participated in investigations as a provision of the sale of the franchise.
Attorneys Lisa Banks and Debra Katz made the request in a letter sent Wednesday to Goodell.
“As you can imagine, we were happy to learn last week that there appears to be a deal in principle for the sale of the Washington Commanders, which will ensure that Daniel Snyder will no longer be able to exert his malign influence over team employees, the Washington area community, or the National Football League,” Banks and Katz wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post.
“We understand that the League and other team owners must review and approve the terms of any sale between Mr. Snyder and the new ownership group. In doing so, we request that you and the NFL owners demand that the sale agreement includes a contractual provision that forbids Mr. Snyder from initiating litigation against any of the individuals who participated in the various investigations into the team, including but not limited to our [40-plus] clients.
Clients of Banks and Katz were interviewed as part of several investigations of Snyder and the team, including those by the NFL and by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability .“Given Mr. Snyder’s well-earned reputation for being vindictive and litigious, and the experience of several of our clients who were harassed by private investigators, this is a very real concern for those who came forward,” Banks and Katz wrote in the letter.
