Ira H. Rosenblatt

Ira Rosenblatt, Founder + Managing Partner, represents businesses, high-net worth individuals, and entrepreneurs. He advises clients on matters involving business formation, operations, growth, advisory matters (think outside general counsel), and strategy. He also provides a suite of strategic consulting services including Board Building, Coaching, and Ideation Workshops.

Mr. Rosenblatt has been named a “Southern California Super Lawyer” and recognized as “one of the top” lawyers in Southern California by his peers in Los Angeles Magazine, Law & Politics Media, Inc., and Super Lawyer publications every year since 2002, the first year the publications began to recognize California lawyers for such honors. He has also earned the highest rating (“AV”) for legal ability and ethics by Martindale-Hubbell and is listed in Martindale- Hubbell’s Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. Ira Rosenblatt was also recognized and named one of “The Top 25 Lawyers of the Valley,” by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal.

Since Mr. Rosenblatt is both a business lawyer and a business owner (with a thriving entrepreneurial streak), he provides valuable legal advice and counsel in a business context. In fact, he provides a suite of strategy consulting services including Board Building (a process whereby he facilitates constructing Advisory Board of Directors designed to take your enterprise to the next level), Virtual Partner (a process whereby he is retained to collaborate with sole shareholders and founders to help add value to your enterprise), and Litigation Vetting (a process whereby he is retained in advance of litigation to provide independent (unbiased) critical feedback regarding other available options designed to achieve your desired results, ensuring you see litigation as a last resort).

Mr. Rosenblatt is a counselor in the truest sense of the word, and routinely finds practical, creative, or “real world” solutions to the challenges facing his clients. Due to his even-temperament and high ethical standards, Mr. Rosenblatt also has been called on to mediate business disputes by and between shareholders, partners, and family owned businesses.

Although Mr. Rosenblatt currently leaves active litigation to his partners, he has significant litigation experience, having successfully litigated state and federal cases (including bench and jury trials) in Northern, Central, and Southern California, as well as in Arizona; argued before appellate courts in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties; and represented employers before the California Labor Commissioner. Despite, or perhaps because of, his litigation successes, Mr. Rosenblatt is acutely sensitive to the financial and often emotional burdens litigation clients face. As a result, he continually seeks creative and cost-saving opportunities designed to achieve his clients’ defined objectives with the least financial and emotional expense.

Mr. Rosenblatt serves as de facto outside general counsel to small and mid-market private companies and has assembled and sat on Advisory Board of Directors in a further effort to support and facilitate his clients’ strategic goals in a host of industries.

Mr. Rosenblatt is admitted to practice before all state courts in California; the Central, Southern and Eastern Districts of the U.S. District Court, California; the U.S. District Court, District of Arizona; and the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
