affidavit establish a “likelihood of success” on her claims that Eikenberry and her former longtime romantic partner, Lamson, formed an alleged oral partnership called “EL Partnership” to acquire, develop, and sell real estate through several real estate LLCs and corporations, several of which Eikenberry admitted were held solely in Lamson’s name, but which she alleged were all “beneficially owned” by EL Partnership.
In that prior round of litigation, Lamson submitted his own
affidavit sharply disputing Eikenberry’s account of events, asserting that the lawsuit was a quasi-matrimonial case masquerading as a business divorce, categorically denying the existence of an alleged oral business partnership with his former paramour, and documenting that many of the real estate businesses supposedly constituting “partnership” property had long since operated in the form of LLCs or corporations.
