Since 1970, TroyGould has been a nationally recognized law firm for business. We've built an innovative mid-size firm that understands what is important to business leaders and delivers it. Our clients include privately held and public companies, investors and senior executives, start ups, middle-market and "Fortune 500" companies.

Whether resolving tough and complex issues or advising on day-to-day practical concerns, we meet our clients' general business and litigation needs, while handling specialized challenges from the worlds of securities, intellectual property, financial services, biotechnology, entertainment and real estate. And we help them anywhere they do business: in California, throughout the Pacific Rim, or around the world. To enhance our resources, TroyGould belongs to the International Lawyers' Group (ILG) and Legal Network International (LNI), whose member law firms span the globe. In addition, the firm is a member of the Equipment Leasing and Financing Association (ELFA).

The firm authored and periodically updates Advising and Defending Corporate Directors and Officers, published by the Regents of the University of California (1998, updated 2007). This book has become a standard desk reference work and reflects the firm's extensive transactional and litigation expertise in the complex and challenging area of corporate governance.

Such a range of experience is unusual for a firm our size, but it means we can give the best of big firm capabilities and small firm responsiveness.

Skilled Attorneys

"Star power" carries weight in any profession, and the lawyers of TroyGould have the kind of professional recognition you expect from a leading business law firm. Three of our members were selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America, the country's most prestigious peer review publication. Los Angeles Magazine/Law & Politics Magazine recognizes many of our attorneys as "Super Lawyers" (selected by their Southern California peers as being in the top 5% of Los Angeles and Orange County lawyers) or as "Rising Stars" (in the top 2.5% of attorneys under the age of 40).

Comprehensive Practice

Our firm began with a strong focus on corporate and securities work, and our corporate practice is still the firm's largest. But today it is part of a comprehensive business law and litigation capability that can meet the specialized needs of emerging, middle-market or global companies. With our quick response time and innovative use of technology, we provide clients with real value in the way we resolve controversies and get deals done.

* Corporate. We are one of the leading independent business law firms in Southern California, reflecting our primary focus on securities law. Our contacts with investment bankers, financial institutions and other sources of capital are extensive, which means we can help with any business combination or securities transaction. And our corporate governance experience ideally positions us to advise directors and management on their fiduciary responsibility.

* Litigation. In complex cases where a company is at stake, or in commercial disputes that arise in the normal course of business, TroyGould is a vigorous advocate at trial and in negotiation. We have special strengths to address intellectual property, employment, unfair competition, securities, real estate and entertainment controversies, and excel at resolving high-stakes, high-intensity controversies. Our litigators provide efficient and effective representation for the commercial disputes that virtually any company faces in the normal course of business.

* Real Estate. We represent developers, owners, landlords, tenants and investors in all aspects of their commercial, industrial and residential real estate transactions.

* Entertainment & Media. We advise clients who are involved around the world in virtually every facet of the entertainment, computer technology and electronic media industries, including the development of various intellectual property assets.

* Tax. Whether the issue is corporate or partnership taxation, the tax structure of business deals, or the resolution of tax controversy, our tax practice is an integral part of our full service business counseling.

Our Approach

* We combine the capabilities of a full-practice business law firm, with the intimacy of an organization where everyone can still gather in the same (large) conference room. We've chosen to be the size we are because it's best for us, and for our clients. You'll work with lawyers you know and like, and who can get the job done because they are recognized leaders at what they do.

* We give you the realistic, objective advice and counsel you need, not what you would like to hear. Pick up the phone and call us any time, whether you need a quick answer to an everyday problem or a comprehensive strategy to resolve a major transaction or dispute. Either way you get tenacious dedication, an urgency that matches your own, and a real understanding of what you need and how to achieve it.

* We have an insider's perspective on the Southern California business and legal communities that's reflected in our access to financial markets and our ability to try complex cases in courts where we are known and respected.

* We are collegial members of every client's team, with an informal and open-door approach that reflects California's down-to-earth business style.

* We understand that nobody looks forward to paying the bill for legal services. That's why we give you real value - which we define as solutions for your needs - and don't just think in terms of billable hours. We never overstaff a matter, and will work with you to find the best way for budgeting and controlling your legal costs.

Unsurpassed Service

In a phrase that's out of fashion at many other law firms, we serve our clients as business counselors. Our lawyers are committed to the excellence that comes from wisdom, and we believe that wisdom is the product of experience and training, not the result of grinding out hours.

We treat each other, and our clients, with respect. We work as a team, and our clients are a part of that team. Working in teamwork together, we believe in camaraderie and open communication, in total quality and absolute integrity, in trust and loyalty. The result is that TroyGould clients, attorneys and staff build long-lasting relationships with each other. That means we can take a long-term view toward success and opportunity, and build together with our clients in ways that make both of them last.
