Our firm is able to take cases on all types of fee arrangements, from hourly to contingency and everything in-between.
Our Los Angeles Commercial Litigation Attorneys Handle Claims Involving the Following
Breach of Fiduciary Duties
Fiduciary duties are owed in many business relationships. For example, executives in a corporation owe a fiduciary duty to the company and its shareholders. Someone who owes a fiduciary duty must act exclusively and responsibly in the best interests of the principal. Breaches of fiduciary duty can cause serious financial damage and disruption to a business. We can help your company recover compensation for incurred damages. We also defend clients who have been wrongfully accused of breaching their fiduciary duties.
Breach of Contract
Contracts, whether written or oral, can be enforced in the state of California if a party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. Successfully pursuing a breach of contract claim requires proving the existence of a valid contract, the claimant’s performance (or excuse for nonperformance) under that contract, the defendant’s breach, and the resulting damages. We will work to secure the maximum available compensation in these cases as well as represent defendants facing these claims.
Shareholder Disputes
Shareholders are partial owners in a corporation and will have certain rights under the company’s operating documents and shareholder agreements. When a dispute arises, shareholders must carefully review these contracts to understand the available legal remedies. Our firm can help majority and minority shareholders assess potential claims and pursue the most advantageous strategy.
Conversion
“Conversion” refers to the stealing of property. We regularly prosecute and defend cases involving embezzlement of business funds, refusals to turn over business property, borrowers who have defaulted under secured loans.
Fraud
In the business context, fraud occurs when a company or its officers intentionally and dishonestly misrepresent facts as a means to exploit another party, typically for financial gain. Our team represents plaintiffs and defendants in these matters.
Business Torts
A business tort occurs when one business wrongfully harms another as a result of deliberate malice or negligence. Our firm handles business tort cases involving tortious interference, trade libel, commercial disparagement, restraint of trade, and more.
Corporate Governance Disputes
Corporate governance refers to a company’s overall strategy for balancing the needs and interests of shareholders, executives, customers, and the broader business community. Disputes can emerge over compensation, company direction, risk management, environmental impact, and many other factors that impact a corporation’s image and operations. We can work to efficiently resolve these types of disputes.
Trade Secret Misappropriation and Unfair Competition
Businesses must take proactive steps to protect their intellectual property and other forms of proprietary information. We can help you implement powerful safeguards and enforce your rights when your company’s invaluable trade secrets are stolen, exploited, or abused.
Entertainment Litigation
Players in the entertainment industry face unique legal obstacles when engaged in high-profile disputes. We are prepared to represent film production companies, media companies, television networks, studios, technology companies, and celebrity talent in these high-stakes conflicts.
