Arnold & Porter LLP was one of the firms that recently secured a favorable jury verdict on behalf of BP West Coast Products LLC in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles. The plaintiffs were four of BPWCP’s franchisees that own and operate ARCO gas stations and ampm Mini Markets in California.
