The lawyers in our Los Angeles office provide comprehensive advice on a wide range of business matters and work with clients to identify problems and evaluate the most economical and advantageous route to the optimal solution, be it through litigation, negotiation, mediation, arbitration or another alternative dispute resolution process. Our lawyers handle matters involved in business disputes, including labor and employment, intellectual property, construction, finance, contract, advertising, regulatory, corporate and partnership disputes, distributor and vendor relations, sales representative relations, attorney malpractice, and right of publicity, among other areas. Their cases include multiple precedent-setting trial and appellate decisions of first impression.

One focus area for our Los Angeles team is brand protection for manufacturers and distributors. For example, we routinely enforce restricted distribution rights to deter gray market product diversion for clients in the health and beauty aids, professional salon products, cosmetics and personal care products industries. We also defend clients’ intellectual property rights, including by facilitating the seizure of counterfeit products and protecting interests in trademarks, copyrights, patents and internet domain names. In addition, we help clients navigate complex federal and state regulatory requirements, including those under Proposition 65, the <a>California Organic Products Act </a>and green chemistry laws.
