Johnny Depp<\/a> has settled a lawsuit with a legal firm he hired to help sue his old lawyer over what they said was an unpaid $350,000 bill.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old actor agreed to settle with Buckley LLP this week, according to The Blast<\/a>, which reported the case would be officially closed next month.<\/p>\n

Depp, who has been involved in a proliferating series of lawsuits since he split from wife Amber Heard in 2016, appears to be attempting to wrap up his legal troubles ahead of a December showdown with her in court.<\/p>\n

He is suing her for $50million in a defamation suit over a Washington Post op-ed in which she discussed the impacts of domestic violence.<\/p>\n

Johnny Depp has settled a $350,000 lawsuit with a legal firm he hired to sue his long-time lawyer Jacob Bloom (right, with wife Ruth) over $30million in what he called improper fees<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That case is scheduled to start on December 2 in a Virginia court after Depp was granted permission to have it heard in the state. <\/p>\n

The suit that Depp settled this week stems from a 2017 lawsuit against his former management company, The Management Group.<\/p>\n

He had accused the group of ‘gross misconduct’, giving unauthorized personal loans to family members and close friends, and of fraudulent’ self-activity amounting to $25milllion in losses.<\/p>\n

The company counter-sued, alleging that his financial woes were partly his own doing and that he still owed them for services.<\/p>\n

As part of the lawsuit, The Management Company revealed an extraordinary list of what it said were Depp’s monthly outgoings, including $30,000-a-month on wine.<\/p>\n

Depp and the firm settled in 2018, for an undisclosed sum.<\/p>\n

The lawyer representing Depp in that suit was attorney Jacob Bloom, a partner in firm-to-the-stars Bloom Hergott, which counted the likes of Brad Pitt and Neil Patrick Harris among its clients.<\/p>\n

Depp subsequently sued Bloom for $30million in what he argued was improperly collected fees and self-dealing.<\/p>\n

The pair settled that suit last month for an undisclosed ‘eight-figure sum’. <\/p>\n

Depp wrapped up the lawsuit as he prepares to face off in court with ex-wife Amber Heard in a $50million defamation suit that is due to start on December 2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Months before the suit settled, Bloom Hergott ceased trading as both partners decided to take different paths in life, Deadline<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Buckley LLP had represented him in the suit against Bloom. The firm had said Depp owned them in excess of $500,00 for the case, but had paid just $187,000.<\/p>\n

Depp had previously asked the court to throw out the entire suit, arguing they charged ‘excessive and unreasonable amounts’.   <\/p>\n

As well as the $50million suit against Heard, Depp is facing yet more time in court in 2020, as he’s being sued by a location manager from film City of Lies.<\/p>\n

Greg ‘Rocky’ Brooks claims that Depp punched him in the ribs during filming in 2017 after he informed the actor that filming would have to wrap up for the night.<\/p>\n

‘Who the f*** are you? You have no right to tell me what to do! I don’t give a f*** who you are and you can’t tell me what to do,’ Depp is alleged to have shouted before punching Brooks twice.<\/p>\n

Depp and Heard were previously involved in an acrimonious divorce that included allegations of domestic abuse from both sides, and ultimately ended with $7million being paid to the actress.<\/p>\n

She subsequently donated the money to charity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
