OUR PRACTICE   

Shapiro, Rodarte & Freedman LLP has a broad range of expertise in resolving commercial disputes, including contract, partnership, insurance coverage and intellectual property matters.

The firm prides itself on its ability to solve many complex business problems through creative negotiation, thereby minimizing the costs and risks of litigation. When full-scale litigation does prove necessary, however, SR&F has the experience and capacity to wage an effective court battle on the client's behalf. Our lawyers have extensive litigation and trial experience in California as well as in many other state and federal forums.

The firm has achieved some of its most notable successes by providing strategic and tactical counsel to national and international clients in the containment and management of mass tort and other substantial losses. SR&F has been instrumental in collecting hundreds of millions of dollars from insurance carriers on behalf of its policyholder clients, and the firm has established cooperative working relationships with many of those carriers in order to facilitate reimbursement of underlying losses.

At the same time, the firm has also effectively resolved a number of more modest disputes in a variety of commercial contexts. The success which SR&F has enjoyed is evidenced by its roster of exceptional and long-standing clients, which includes major national and multinational corporations such as Baxter International Inc., Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., Astellas US LLC, Canon U.S.A., Inc. and KSL Recreation Corp.
