Clients rely on our litigation expertise to resolve matters ranging from small contractual disputes to bet-the-company, complex litigation. We routinely appear in California State and Federal Courts and have a track record of success at trial. We are also skilled advocates in the arbitration and mediation of disputes.

We bring more than a quarter century of specific industry expertise to commercial contract disputes, shareholder disputes, unfair competition claims and other business torts, real estate and land use controversies, consumer class actions, life science product liability claims, employment disputes and other areas. We combine industry expertise with exceptional litigation skills. This extends not just to the specifics of a dispute but to knowing the details of clients’ businesses: their products and services, goals and challenges and financial footing.

We have been successful helping our clients avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation through strategic informal resolution of disputes. However, when litigation has become necessary, we have partnered with our clients to set realistic strategies, goals and budgets, mindful of the necessary financial and business impact. We understand that clients need a strategy that is not only effective and ultimately successful, but also transparent and aligned with the expectations of their business partners.
