Los Angeles

Our Los Angeles office is home to a team of more than 65 lawyers. We counsel financial institutions, investment funds, municipalities and governments, the media industry, SoCal’s startup community, energy companies and utilities.

We focus on four core areas:

Litigation, with an emphasis on complex commercial litigation, white collar defense, securities litigation, employment, intellectual property and entertainment.
Energy and Project Finance, advising global energy companies, sponsors, independent power producers and funds on renewable and power projects, debt financings, tax equity and other credit monetization transactions as well as energy M&A. The team is part of our global Energy & Infrastructure practice which acts for 60 of the top 100 E&I investors, half of the top 50 renewables sponsors worldwide and 4 of the top 10 oil & gas majors. The group is recognized in Band 1 by Chambers USA for energy transition, power and renewables and No. 2 globally for energy transition (inspiratia).
Technology, including counseling venture funds and startups in the emerging SoCal tech scene from our space in Santa Monica. We act for exciting local ventures like eHarmony, FabFitFun, Fame & Partners, Clutter, and Inspire Energy.
Finance, with a particular focus on real estate. We act for leading international investment funds, fund sponsors, real estate advisors, developers, public and private pension funds, REITs, investment banks, and institutional lenders in all phases of real estate investment. In addition, our LA finance team counsels on private and public financing, structured finance, project finance and restructuring transactions.
