Business Wire -- Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is compelled to refute the false and inflammatory rhetoric being disseminated by lawyers for Broadreach Capital Partners/Maritz, Wolff & Co., the Owners of Four Seasons Resort Aviara, in conjunction with their improper attempt to take control of the Resort from its contractual managers, Four Seasons. The Owners and their counsel have been engaging in a misleading media campaign to defame Four Seasons while simultaneously attempting to circumvent the legal system and usurp the arbitration process agreed upon by both parties. Their statements and actions have deliberately and unnecessarily placed the employees of the Resort at the center of the dispute.
