Business Law and Litigation
Business disputes especially in areas like Los Angeles or anywhere in California, can be a costly, distracting, and draining experience that takes your attention away from the very businesses that require your leadership. We take that burden off your shoulders.

We have successfully handled partner disputes and buy outs of companies, disputes pertaining to purchase of business interests/rights, disputes between homeowner's associations and owners/tenants, merchant disputes etc.,.
We have ralso represented artists/promoters in contract negotiation and disputes, filed trademark applications and prosecuted/defended trademark litigation, including successfully before the USPTO against a major entertainment company. We have represented celebrities in contract matters and defamation/privacy rights, ANTI-SLAPP, mediations etc.,
Our attorneys have represented some of the biggest companies in entertainment/gaming, or successfully prosecuted claims/litigations against big entertainment companies for our clients.
On the transactional side we have drafted complex purchase agreements, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements, buy-out agreements, intellectual property agreements, settlement agreements, artist/promoter agreements, etc., In our 25+ years we have handled virtually ever type of business dispute and litigation imaginable, with many creative resolutions to get deals closed and disputes settled.
Makovoz Law Group has a record of success in high-stakes business litigation, as well as negotiating and drafting agreements with a litigator's eye. Having litigated complex business litigation and other matters in both jury trial and judge/bench trial cases, we have the unique advantage of being able to take that wisdom and apply it to ensuring the best outcome upfront during the transactional business process and contracting.
Our decades of experience covers both the plaintiff and defendant sides in business, employment, partnership/corporate disputes, healthcare, and intellectual property, including trademarks, as well as other matters. We practice before the California state and federal courts, including the California State and Federal Courts of Appeal, as well as the USPTO (Trademark Board).
Our lawyers have worked for the top "big law" firm in Los Angeles, and studied at the top schools including Harvard Law and UCLA (Summa Cum Laude), but the difference is at Makovoz Law you are not going to be another small fish in a bottomless pond. We won't add you to an assembly line of other waiting clients or assign you to an inexperienced junior associate to experiment on your case and your patience. We believe in hard-work and late nights for our clients. We believe in smart lawyering, and high-end work product. We strive to work matters out informally if at all possible, or aggressively, if such becomes necessary.

Thinking outside the box is something we are not afraid of, including winning motions that most lawyers never bring, such as for terminating and other sanctions (ending a case without trial due to misconduct of the opposing side and/or its counsel), or getting a new trial/additur (having the Judge increase insufficient damages awarded by a jury or grant you a brand new trial) etc.,
Our success in winning appeals, including as the successful Appellant in a published California decision in the groundbreaking decision in Khoiny v. Dignity Health (2022) 76 Cal.App.5th 390 is unique given only about 16%-18% of appeals are successful, and less than about 9% of cases become published California law. Makovoz Law is one of the few firms in the State of California that can say they have succeeded on appeal with respect to both of the foregoing!
Bottomline: we make it our priority to make our clients whole.
