PROVIDENCE — A law firm sued by Rhode Island’s economic development agency over the failed $75 million deal with former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s video game company has agreed to settle for $4.4 million, the sides said in a court filing Friday.
If approved by Superior Court Judge Michael Silverstein, it would be the first settlement in the high-profile lawsuit over 38 Studios.
