David Black, a litigation shareholder with Maynard Nexsen, was recently featured in The State in connection with ongoing disputes over the estate of music legend James Brown.

The article, “James Brown’s Estate: A Legacy Delayed,” highlights the nearly two decades of legal battles surrounding Brown’s estate, which was originally intended to fund scholarships for underprivileged children in South Carolina and Georgia.

In testimony before the South Carolina Supreme Court, Mr. Black, representing estate administrator Russell Bauknight, emphasized that ongoing litigation brought by former administrator Adele Pope remains the final obstacle to closing the estate.

Black further commented that Pope had refused multiple settlement offers from the estate, choosing instead to pursue what he characterized as “vexatious litigation.”
