minacciare di fare causa


Explanation:
Dal resto della frase fornita da te direi che la traduzione dovrebbe corrispondere al termine più consueto in inglese "sue", cioè "fare causa", perchè:
-il tono mi pare abbastanza informale
-si tratta di un attore civile (uno scrittore), piuttosto che un procuratore.
