Dhillon & Smith’s boutique business law practice spans business dispute resolution, election and campaign law, and corporate transactional, compliance, and intellectual property protection services. We serve as the outside general counsel for many private companies, business ventures and serial entrepreneurs. From the boardroom to the courtroom, we work with our clients to understand their needs and then craft legal solutions that suits their risk tolerance, goals and budgets. We treat our clients’ challenges as if they are our own.
The majority of our clients approach us through word-of-mouth referrals from other attorneys, colleagues in civic organizations, candidates for public office, community leaders, social contacts and satisfied clients. Many of our clients come to us for a single matter, sometimes a thorny business dispute, a term sheet, or a ballot description issue, but then come back to us year after year for their other legal needs – negotiating agreements, advising on personal legal matters, serving as a sounding board on the implications of major new endeavors, crafting legal strategy in a political context, or lending a helping hand in a crisis. Our attorneys and staff strive to form long-term partnerships with our clients. We take pride in the stability and longevity of our client relationships, and in the premium legal work, diligent responsiveness and exceptional value that keeps our clients, other attorneys and their trusted friends and colleagues coming back time and again.
