We have tried cases and argued appeals in federal and state courts in California and throughout the country. We also have handled disputes before a wide diversity of non-judicial forums including federal and state agencies, such as the Public Utilities Commission, the California Energy Commission, the Department of Corporations, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and private arbitrations.
RL’s approach to litigation emphasizes evaluating litigation early and often. We are sensitive to the rising cost of litigation and seek to resolve cases in a cost effective manner. We pride ourselves in providing big firm service and experience without the big firm baggage. Our hourly rates are highly competitive and significantly lower than those charged by large firms where we were partners. We are willing to collaborate with clients to find creative billing structures, including full or partial contingency arrangements, and in appropriate situations, fixed fees. We believe that partnering with our clients in appropriate circumstances, whereby RL bears part of the risk, is beneficial for our clients and for us. We counsel clients to attempt to avoid litigation in the first instance. If, however, litigation cannot be avoided, we will seek to resolve the matter quickly and economically at the earliest possible time. If a matter cannot be resolved, we are fully equipped to litigate the matter through trial and appeals. Our lawyers have substantial trial experience and always prepare the case for trial from the moment we are retained.
