Keker Team Wins Arbitration, Forcing Warriors to Pay for Oracle Arena Renovations

An arbitrator sided against the Bay Area NBA team in its dispute with the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda over debt incurred to renovate Oracle Arena, the team's current home in Oakland. The Warriors had argued the team wasn't obligated to pay any debt remaining once the team decamps to San Francisco next year, while the Coliseum authority, represented by a team at Keker, Van Nest & Peters, argued that the team owed the full price of the renovation bill, an amount the municipalities pegged at about $55 million. The Keker, Van Nest & Peters team representing the Coliseum Authority in its arbitration with the Warriors included Daniel Purcell, Leah Pransky, and Eduardo Santacana.
