Arash Beral

Arash Beral is a partner in Freeman, Freeman & Smiley LLP's Los Angeles office and a member of the Litigation Department. Mr. Beral routinely counsels clients in highly sophisticated, complex legal matters and disputes, oftentimes of national and international significance. While he represents clients in business, commercial, employment, intellectual property, and real estate litigation matters from inception (including emergency injunctive relief/TRO applications) through trial, appeals, and enforcement of judgments, Mr. Beral's primary practice focus is on ever-evolving state and federal trade secret laws and trade secret litigation.

Mr. Beral's most recent trial victories include a 2015 state court trial victory in which case he was the lead plaintiff's trial counsel in a real estate dispute involving property located in the highly coveted Estates at the Oaks of Calabasas, and a 2014 federal court trial victory in which case he was the lead local defense counsel in a trade secrets dispute involving claims among competing multi-national businesses.

Mr. Beral earned both his Bachelor of Arts degree and Juris Doctor degree in less than five years, graduating in the top 5% of his undergraduate class and in the top 10% of his law school class.  While now a seasoned litigator, he was at the time of admission to the State Bar of California one of the youngest practicing lawyers in California.

From 2012 through 2016, Mr. Beral was named to the list of Southern California Rising Stars by Super Lawyers Magazine, an honor bestowed to only 2.5% of lawyers under the age of 40.
