Business Litigation in California
Litigating in California comes with unique challenges, from complex labor laws to a regulatory climate that changes fast. Whether you’re in cannabis, tech, retail, or another high-growth space, even routine disputes can put your license, reputation, or operations at risk.
We help clients navigate:
-
Contract Enforcement
We pursue or defend against breach of contract claims, focusing on your long-term business health.
-
Internal Business Conflicts
When partners or shareholders disagree, we aim to resolve disputes promptly or assist the parties in parting ways smoothly if necessary.
-
Employment & HR Claims
California’s employment laws can amplify risk. We help defend against claims without compromising your license or team.
-
Regulatory Investigations
In regulated industries, enforcement actions can escalate fast. We help you respond promptly and protect your ability to operate.
We’ll work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and if trial is the best option moving forward, we’re prepared because we have been there before.
