Los Angeles Business Litigation Law Firm to Address Disputes

Our business litigation lawyers in Los Angeles protect a range of companies’ interests as they encounter complex and potentially damaging disputes with other people and companies. Matters we handle include contract disputes, purchase and sales agreement disputes, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with business, intellectual property infringement, partnership or ownership disputes, noncompete agreements, and other torts. Many of a company’s relationships are founded on contractual documentation, and some of that documentation may give rise to nebulous or ambiguous interpretations.

As the representative of a company with significant sums at stake in a dispute, it is critical to retain a lawyer who is not only fearless in pursuing your interests, but also savvy enough to understand where the weak and strong spots in the other side’s case are and can counsel you about matters of settlement and trial with a nuanced understanding of what your ultimate business objectives are.

Employment Defense Against Claims that Threaten Your Business

Employers in California must abide by a host of federal, state, and local laws vis-à-vis their employees. Unfortunately, there are many circumstances under which a company can face claims that they have run afoul of the rules in connection with the employment relationship, and these lawsuits may be pursued in federal and state court. For instance, Los Angeles employment discrimination cases may be pursued under both anti-discrimination laws enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). There are situations in which the terms of an employment agreement may govern the relationship. However, a term, or several, in the agreement may be ambiguous. You need an attorney who can adapt and think on their feet when an employee adopts an aggressive posture towards the company even though the company has moved squarely within the law.

It is crucial to retain a Los Angeles attorney who understands how the court would respond to the particular circumstances, and whether settlement is appropriate, or when the case should be taken to trial. Mr. Mehdian takes a results-oriented approach to representing companies and other employers when they face lawsuits. Employment defense may involve addressing issues of wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour, class action, harassment, breach of employment contract, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, and mismanagement of employee benefit plans.

Pursuing Remedies by Bringing a Personal Injury Lawsuit

Personal injury lawsuits are typically pursued when a person is injured through the fault of another. We handle plaintiff’s claims arising out of catastrophic injuries, premises liability, product liability, car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents. In many personal injury cases, we must establish negligence. This means we’ll need to prove that the defendant owed you a duty to use reasonable care, failed to abide by that duty, caused your injuries and that you sustained damages as a result. The specifics will determine what duty was owed, and whether it was breached.

It’s important to be aware that defendants frequently raise the defense of comparative negligence; in other words they may try to show that you are to blame for your own injuries, even when those injuries are catastrophic and life-altering. You should consult our lawyers about whether you have a viable claim before talking to the other side.
