Barak Lurie is the Managing Partner of the Firm. Barak practices primarily in litigation, with an emphasis on business and real estate matters. He also has substantial experience in bankruptcy work, representing trustees and creditors. Barak's clients include a wide variety of businesses and high net work individuals defending or pursuing claims for breach of contract, fraud, and commercial disputes. Barak also has substantial experience in high-profile commercial evictions.
During his legal career, Barak worked for Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps, as well as Christensen, Miller (now Glaser, Weil), top-notch large law firms. He also worked at the highly respected firm of Danning, Gill, Diamond & Kollitz. Barak also served as General Counsel to Donald Sterling, real estate mogul and owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. There, Barak took on major legal disputes for Mr. Sterling, and became a principal attorney in the successful appeal of Sterling v. Taylor, reversing the lower court's decision. In addition, in 2000, Barak founded and also became CEO of his own company, RightPro, which developed a unique internet-based marketing tool for professionals. As a result of this experience, Barak became intimately familiar with the needs and motivations of entrepreneurs -- having been one himself. After spending 15 years honing his legal skills in these firms, Barak started his own practice in 2004.
Barak's experience maximizes the odds that a case will be successfully settled. "It's rare that settlement is not the best result for a client," Lurie says. "That way, the client minimizes the risk of a huge loss at trial, and can also have control of the outcome." However, when trial has proven necessary, Barak has prevailed in court time and again, earning verdicts in the millions of dollars. His focus is always on the best and most cost-effective result for the client.

Facing a complex defamation and libel lawsuit, I was understandably anxious about choosing the proper Attorney to handle my case. I had no clue where to start. Since I subscribe to legal services provided by Legal Zoom, I decided to contact one of the Attorney affiliates I had hired in the past. Un...

Barak Lurie has handled a couple cases for me, each one very different than the other, and each time I found him to be skilled, knowledgeable, and ethical. I highly recommend him and his firm.

It was a pleasure working with Barak and Brent for the past few years. I've used other attorneys in the past about my case but I was glad that I finally found them a few years ago. They are very experienced and understanding. They went beyond their limits to help me out tremendously during the diff...

I interviewed several law firms that seemed unwilling or unable to untangle the issues I was facing, and consequently none could suggest viable solutions. My situation looked bleak, and the opposition was devious and relentless. From the start and throughout my case, Barak Lurie and Brent Kramer ide...
"Barak Lurie and I have known each other for over 20 years. A few years ago, we worked together closely on a couple of real estate and business litigation matters. I was impressed by the leadership he showed in his law firm, the high quality of work produced on behalf of his clients, his ability to develop strategies early on in a case, and his uncompromising ethics. It was a pleasure to work with Barak. I endorse this lawyer."
