Last year MSG Entertainment, which operates Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall, as well as other New York venues and restaurants, announced that it was banning lawyers from any law firm that was suing the venue and created an "attorney exclusion list." This ban also extended to lawyers of the firm who were not involved in the litigation: "Neither you, nor any other attorney employed at your firm, may enter the Company's venues until final resolution of [your] litigation." James L. Dolan, MSG's chief executive, claimed that the rationale for the prohibition was "to stop attorneys from suing them" and to avoid "improper disclosure and discovery."
