Former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is not taking Benchmark’s “public” and “personal attack” lying down. In a court filing, Kalanick is again seeking to move Benchmark’s lawsuit to arbitration, which is usually binding.

Kalanick calls Benchmark’s claims — that he defrauded the firm into signing amendments to the board’s voting agreements — fabrications. He further accuses the firm of ambushing him with pressure to resign while he was grieving the death of his mother.
