Business Litigation Los Angeles

1. Business Litigation Los Angeles About Us About Us The Law Offices of Mathew & George is a boutique law firm representing both plaintiffs and defendants in litigation matters and particularly in matters of personal injury, business litigation and employment law. For nearly two decades, Mathew & George has successfully assisted individuals in obtaining outstanding trial results in each of these areas. Lead trial attorney, Abraham Mathew, has represented clients in some of the largest and most complex business litigation in the State, as well as individuals and small businesses in relatively simple but equally important matters. Because we are selective about the cases we accept, we have the time and resources to carefully and meticulously investigate the facts of each case, weigh it against the applicable law and then provide candid advice on the possible outcomes. Our goal in each case is to gain every competitive and strategic advantage to save our client’s time and money. That is how we measure success. GP and RC GP and RC v. Confidential Entertainment Company v. Confidential Entertainment Company Our clients, two shareholders and officers of a Los Angeles entertainment company, were sued by its lenders and investors for fraud and breach of fiduciary duties in connection with loans made of which $56 Million could not be accounted for. After years of contentious litigation and a successful summary judgment motion, the case was dismissed against one client and soon thereafter we secured an extremely favorable settlement for the second. Maudlin v. Vasa Maudlin v. Vasa Our client, the CEO of a successful technology company, was sued by a former executive level employee for breach of fiduciary duties and breach of contract in connection with a multi-million dollar retirement plan that had ceased making payments to the employee. After a two week trial, we successfully obtained a verdict holding that our client owed no duties to the former employee and then successfully had the judgment affirmed on appeal.

2. Xiamen Trade Co., Ltd., v. Pear Connection, Inc., et al., Xiamen Trade Co., Ltd., v. Pear Connection, Inc., et al., Our clients, international clothing wholesalers, were sued by a Chinese corporation for breach of contract and fraud in connection with non-payment of roughly $1.5 million in goods sold and delivered and which our clients then resold at roughly twice the purchase price. We took the matter to trial and successfully limited the introduction of evidence regarding the resale of goods and then had several causes of action as well as the prayer for punitive damages dismissed and then successfully argued that damages cannot exceed 5.1% of the total invoice amount.
