Sound, Local Business Law Advice

Although we serve large companies nationally and internationally, we provide legal services to many small and mid-sized businesses in our home community of Malibu.

You can benefit from working with business lawyers who have held positions as in-house general counsel, corporate CEO, and assistant corporate secretary of a Fortune 500 company. The breadth and depth of our attorneys' business experience, as well as years of legal representation, allows us to provide solid, practical advice to clients seeking to grow a business or resolve a legal dispute.

A Wide Range of Legal Services to Small and Mid-Sized Businesses

Whether you need answers to occasional business law questions or you need aggressive representation in commercial litigation, we can help. We assist clients with many business matters, including:

• General legal counsel
• Corporate Law
• Resolving business disputes in litigation, on appeals, or through the use of an alternative dispute resolution mechanism such as mediation or arbitration
• Real estate disputes such as boundary issues, financing disputes, and foreclosure disputes (we assist businesses and homeowners with commercial and residential real estate problems)
• Insurance litigation, including insurance bad faith, involving commercial, errors and ommissions, professional liability and fire insurance policies.

• Intellectual property protection through copyright and trademark filing and defense and patent protection

Occasionally our clients face legal challenges we cannot address. When that is the case, we find someone who can. We protect our clients' interests and promote their success.

Start-Up Businesses in Malibu
