Paul Newman daughters

Foley & Lardner LLP is representing Susan Newman and Nell Newman, daughters of the late actor Paul Newman, in their lawsuit against their father's ...

The team is comprised of lawyers with the highest level of legal acumen, as well as numerous professionals who have held senior and high-profile leadership positions in the sports industry. The Newman’s Own Foundation, established in 2008, is funded primarily by profits from the Newman’s Own line of food and drink products. The Newman daughters allege that their father allowed the foundation to use his name and likeness to generate revenues under the condition that $400,000 be allocated annually to each of his daughters’ individual charitable foundations to, in turn, donate to charities identified by the daughters’ foundations.

Paul Newman's daughters Susan Kendall Newman and Nell Newman have filed a lawsuit against Newman's Own Foundation, questioning practices.

The foundation is yet to file a response to the lawsuit in court. ‘This lawsuit does not seek personal compensation for Mr Newman’s daughters, but simply seeks to hold (Newman’s Own Foundation) accountable to the charities they have shortchanged in recent years and would ensure they receive an increased level of support in the future, in line with Mr Newman’s wishes,’ he added. Andy Lee, the lawyers for the daughters, said in a statement: ‘No one should have to feel that the legacy of a departed loved one is being dishonoured in the way that Newman’s Own Foundation has disregarded the daughters of Paul Newman.’ Newman created Newman’s Own in 1982, with all profits going to charity, before creating the foundation in 2005. The complaint also claims that the foundation has ‘lost its way and strayed from its mission to preserve and honour Paul Newman’s legacy’, with the sisters interpreting the apparent change as the start of a plan to force them out of the organisation and having any right in saying how the products’ profits are donated to charities. Filing a lawsuit on Tuesday in Connecticut, the siblings are now seeking $1.6million (£1.35m) in damages to be donated to their own charities to distribute.
