Best Law Firms in California for Commercial Litigation

Barton LLP, a law firm with offices in New York, California, Tennessee, and Virginia is comprised of an elite team of former partners of “Big Law” who have joined together to create a progressive law firm. To us, legal services are business services, and our attorneys and staff are business-people serving business clients to advance their business goals.

Our mission is to provide our sophisticated corporate, financial services, investment fund and entrepreneurial clients with the highest quality legal services delivered in an effective and efficient manner. We accomplish this because we are an organization that does not follow the traditional multi-layered and leveraged law firm model. We believe that a better product, value and client experience is achieved by providing our clients with highly skilled senior attorneys who work directly on their matters with appropriate support from a strong, but lean team of associate attorneys and staff.

We are committed to developing long-term relationships by partnering with our clients so that we thoroughly understand their organizations, objectives and long-term goals. We offer in-house training programs to our clients and take a proactive approach to reviewing clients’ business practices, contracts and relationships to avoid or reduce the incidents of litigation and risk whenever possible.

Our firm structure and experience allows us to offer a wide array of alternative fee arrangements. We understand that hourly billing is frequently not in our client’s best interest, nor does it necessarily represent the value of our services. Our clients provide their goods and services in a competitive marketplace, and yet they rarely, if ever, use an hourly based pricing model. We know that clients have to manage their resources and create efficiencies to stay within budget – and they want lawyers who are able to do the same.

At Hahn Loeser, our people form the core of our firm. We have assembled a team of highly skilled attorneys and staff across the United States. Our focus on collaborative efforts and creative business solutions sets us apart. We prioritize the needs of our clients and our team members alike, emphasizing a supportive environment. The diverse backgrounds of our attorneys represent Hahn Loeser's enduring commitment to diversity. This has spurred a broad practice range and has helped us foster strong relationships within various community segments over the years. We strive to understand your business and personal goals to help you achieve them according to your specific needs.

Hahn Loeser's client-centered approach is facilitated by our dedicated team of attorneys and staff who operate across different practice areas and office locations nationwide, working together to devise innovative solutions for client challenges.

With more than 140 attorneys, we have established a national presence, expanding to eight strategic locations across the country, including Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio; Naples, Fort Myers, Tampa, and Sarasota, Florida; San Diego, California; and Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 1920, Hahn Loeser has grown to become one of the 500 largest law firms in the United States as recognized by The National Law Journal. We are equipped to manage complex litigation and transactions while offering our clients highly personalized service.
