We are skilled in several aspects of business and employment law. We represent individuals, corporations, traditional partnerships, limited liability partnerships, sole proprietorships, financiers, and other business entities in a variety of matters before State and Federal trial and appellate courts, as well as numerous arbitration and mediation organizations.
Business Law
We represent clients in actions where the focus is the breach of a contract, agreement, or other instrument in writing. We also handle matters involving claims of fraud, conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, interference with prospective or existing economic relationship, spoliation of evidence, and tortious breach of contract. In many of these cases, we are also defending clients against claims for the recovery of punitive and exemplary damages.
We also provide assistance to business owners in the process of incorporating their businesses. Once formed, we offer additional services as general or outside legal counsel.
Our lawyers also represent individuals and businesses involved in entertainment related matters, including lawsuits and other types of claims brought by actors, singers, songwriters, and other celebrity figures in California’s vast and significant entertainment industry. The cases frequently involve royalty disputes, contract breaches and piracy issues. Because of the personal nature of such matters, we are acutely aware of our clients’ concerns for privacy. We therefore strive to provide unparalleled personal attention to our clients, yielding both confidence and the foundation for success-oriented results.
Employment Law
We represent employers and businesses in both administrative proceedings and court in matters involving wrongful termination, retaliation, and sexual harassment, as well as race, gender, sex, age, and disability discrimination. We regularly counsel clients on rapidly changing developments in employment laws, and provide educational claim-prevention training seminars. We also prepare employee handbooks that extensively detail the employer-employee relationship. These handbooks, which we customize to each particular client's business needs, have proven to be an effective tool in both preventing and defending a majority of employment-related claims.
We are sensitive to the effects that employment claims have on employers, especially smaller to medium-size businesses, from economic and emotional perspectives. Therefore, especially in employment matters, we focus on aggressively handling lawsuits in as cost-efficient and resolution-oriented manner as possible.
