The Business Litigation Group has been preeminent in California for decades, with a long track record of success across jury trials, bench trials, arbitrations, and appeals in complex, high-exposure matters. 20 attorneys recognized as "Best Lawyers in America."

  • Hybrid remote — 3 days onsite / 2 days remote
  • Real client relationships and case ownership from day one — not document review, not support work
  • Full lifecycle commercial litigation — pre-arbitration strategy through trial, appeal, and award enforcement, not handed off mid-matter

  • Clients span publicly traded companies, closely held businesses, financial institutions, manufacturers, tech companies, and professional services firms across multiple industries
  • 27 practice groups under one roof — cross-referral pipeline into construction, IP, white collar, environmental, and consumer credit
  • Firm promotes from within — partnership track is real and active
