The Los Angeles office of Jenner & Block is home to lawyers who embody the same kind of personal character and professional ability found throughout our entire firm.  Our Los Angeles office includes several federal appellate law clerks, a former White House Associate Counsel, a former Justice Department counsel and award-winning lawyers in their areas of focus.  Our lawyers are seasoned trial and appellate advocates with deep and wide-ranging experience in complex commercial litigation, entertainment company representation and intellectual property dispute resolution.  We also boast a talented transactional team that represents public and private companies in a broad range of corporate and securities transactions, and managed money that is invested in the acquisition and financing of private companies. Our experience, both litigation and transactional, cuts across nearly every industry doing business in California.

Since opening our doors in 2009, we have continued to help companies and individuals meet their West Coast needs and provide an exceptional platform from which our lawyers in California, and across the firm, are able to serve their clients, the bar and the community.  Given our position on the Pacific Rim, the Los Angeles office represents clients from Asia in their U.S. legal matters and manages international arbitration proceedings around the Asia-Pacific region.  Several of our lawyers speak Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean.

In keeping with the firm’s commitment to the communities in which we practice, our Los Angeles lawyers also provide pro bono representation and serve the bar and community in a variety of significant ways.  We teach in local law schools as adjunct professors and serve as officers and directors of local charities and bar organizations, as well as social and business groups.

Our Los Angeles office is a magnet for talented associates, many of whom are experienced laterals from other top-tier firms.  A significant number of our West Coast lawyers are former federal appellate court law clerks.  In 2013, our office received a perfect score in The American Lawyer’s “Summer Associate Satisfaction Survey,” placing us at the top of the list of prominent Los Angeles law firms.
