Overview
Content is provided by the firm.
Theodora Oringher is a legal powerhouse known for being the go-to firm for sophisticated, high stakes litigation, and for providing sound and wise counsel to businesses on transactions and operations issues. Our client list includes many of the nation's best and most well known names. We have offices in Los Angeles and Orange County, California, and are staffed and sized to provide the resources and expertise of a larger international firm, while maintaining the flexibility and personalized attention of a midsize firm.
We are proud of our reputation for being "lawyers' lawyers," regularly receiving referrals from the nation's largest and best known firms. Indeed, most of the firm's attorneys practiced at a national firm before joining Theodora Oringher.
We are recognized for our sub-specialty of trying bet-the-company, high profile cases, oftentimes involving hundreds of millions of dollars in exposure. In addition, another fact makes us unique: we are frequently referred cases just before trial to serve as lead trial counsel on matters previously handled by other firms.
Many of our attorneys appear regularly on the "best" lists published by the organizations that announce the top lawyers practicing in California.
One of our key strengths is our diversity. We are proud of the men and women of Theodora Oringher, representing diverse national origins, creeds, and religions. We are indeed fortunate; and, we believe in the adage, "to whom much is given, much is expected." This view has led to a firm culture of charitable giving, public service and mentoring.
Theodora Oringher is dedicated to being one of Southern California's best places to work, and to treating all of our attorneys and staff with respect and dignity.
