The backbone of our firm’s practice comes from its torts and commercial litigation practice. For example, we represent clients defending “slip and fall” lawsuits through those litigating multi-million dollar leases and commercial contracts. As with all of our practice groups, this group concentrates on efficiently, but aggressively, representing clients through every step of the litigation process. We tackle the possibilities of alternative dispute resolution from the earliest stages, but remain prepared to try cases where necessary and appropriate. We have successfully resolved hundreds of cases in these areas in the past few years, and our attorneys are very proud of our results, whether it be through early resolution, summary judgment, or success at trial. In recent months, we have defended clients in claims such as false imprisonment, violation of the California anti-discrimination statutes (the Unruh Act), negligent hiring and retention, as well as mere negligence and strict products liability. Our diverse experience in these areas aids in the early and successful resolution of cases.
