Meet the Business Owner: Doug L.
I spent the first part of my career working at some of the most prestigious law firms in the country. During that time, I, along with my teams, represented everyone from billionaires to celebrities to Fortune 500 companies. On behalf of plaintiffs, I have obtained verdicts, pre-trial judgments, and settlements amounting to more than $20 million. Representing corporate and individual defendants, I have achieved verdicts, pre-trial judgments, and settlements successfully defending against claims exceeding tens of millions of dollars
I also represented many franchisors as I learned the ins and outs of franchise law and became Chair of the California Lawyers Association's Franchise Law Committee. I would go on to become the general counsel of a growing franchise brand, Amada Senior Care. After a decade of practicing, I decided to start my own law firm, designed to be one of the premier franchise law firms in the country.
