Bryan Cave opened its Los Angeles office in 1979, becoming one of the first major law firms based outside of the area to establish a location in that city. In 1990, the L.A. office moved to the coastal community of Santa Monica.

The 70 lawyers in our Los Angeles office advise clients in a diverse array of areas, including commercial litigation, entertainment and media, franchise and distribution, intellectual property/technology, entrepreneurial and commercial practice, international trade, labor and employment, private client services, real estate, and transactions/corporate finance and securities.

In addition, our Los Angeles professionals are proud to be involved with such organizations as the Inner City Law Center, Junior League Los Angeles, Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Mission, Public Counsel, Western Law Center for Disability Rights and Women at Risk.
