Profile

David advises and represents companies and individuals in complex business disputes.  David has advised and represented clients in a broad range of matters, including real estate, partnership, business torts, trade secrets, copyright, trademark, entertainment, unclaimed property, contracts, securities, unfair competition, insurance and other business disputes.  David also has experience in the area of creditor’s rights, including pre- and post-judgment remedies.  In addition to representing clients in both state and federal trial courts, David has represented clients at both the state and federal appellate level (most recently, having prevailed after oral argument before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit).  Corporate clients David has represented include financial services, real estate, entertainment, media, manufacturing, apparel, garment, health care, insurance, aerospace, food and beverage services, retail department store and communications companies.

Every year since 2014, David has been selected to the Southern California “Super Lawyers” list published by Thomson Reuters and Los Angeles magazine, an honor received by no more than five percent of all lawyers in Southern California.

Before joining the firm, David was a partner at the global law firm SNR Denton (formerly Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, now Dentons).  David utilizes his “big firm” background and experience to provide clients with a high level of expertise and advice, but at “small firm” rates so that clients receive exceptional value for his legal services.
