Our Commercial Litigation Approach
We have found that optimum litigation and trial results are achieved through careful planning and strategy. We work with our commercial litigation clients to set reasonable budgets and timelines for litigation goals. This includes focused discovery efforts and summary judgment filings if appropriate. Many commercial cases involve breach of contract claims, theft of trade secrets and violations of the Business and Professions code. We have a thorough understanding of the relevant law related to these claims. As such, we staff cases more efficiently than many larger law firms. We typically staff business litigation matters with one partner and one or two associates to eliminate duplicative billing entries that plague many commercial litigants. There are no unqualified or inexperienced attorneys working at our firm. We don’t train or babysit on your dollar.

- Real Estate Investment Funds
- Hedge Funds and Hedge Fund owners
