The Shaolian Law Firm
A Professional Law Corporation
Practice

Six disciplines. One standard.

Whether the client is a multinational or a family of four, every matter gets the same preparation, the same discretion, and the same intent to win.

01

Business & Commercial Litigation

When a dispute threatens the business itself, strategy matters as much as advocacy. The firm litigates complex commercial matters with the judgment of outside counsel to publicly traded companies and the tenacity of a practice built to win.

Its foundational result came here: a Los Angeles company against a Singaporean conglomerate, resolved favorably against a far larger adversary.

  • Complex contract and business tort disputes
  • Partnership, shareholder, and ownership disputes
  • Unfair and oppressive business practice claims
  • Cross-border and international disputes
  • Real estate and escrow disputes
02

Employment & Sexual Harassment

Confronting an employer, especially a powerful one, takes an advocate with a record of making powerful defendants answer in court.

In the #MeToo era, the firm sued the CEO of a major logistics corporation on behalf of a group of female plaintiffs. The case ended in a landmark settlement and made the firm's reputation in this arena. More recently, the firm defeated a motion to compel arbitration brought by a global entertainment production company, keeping its client's case in front of a jury.

  • Sexual harassment and hostile work environment
  • Discrimination and retaliation
  • Wrongful termination
  • Whistleblower and disability claims
  • Group and multi-plaintiff actions
03

Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death

Insurers spend billions learning how to pay less. The firm's founder spent years inside one of the largest, learning exactly how they think. Now that knowledge works for the injured.

The defense in these cases is funded, coordinated, and motivated to minimize. The firm meets that machinery with preparation it cannot ignore.

  • Catastrophic and life-altering injury
  • Wrongful death
  • Maritime incidents
  • Commercial trucking collisions
  • Serious automobile collisions
04

Insurance Bad Faith

A policy is a promise. Too many carriers treat it as an opening position, delaying, underpaying, and daring the policyholder to sue. The firm recognizes those tactics because its founder watched them from the inside.

We hold insurers to their obligations, and where the conduct warrants it, we pursue the exposure carriers fear most.

  • Wrongful denial of claims
  • Delayed and underpaid claims
  • Coverage disputes
  • Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims
  • Punitive damages exposure
05

Tenant Rights & Habitability

A home that is unsafe is not a home. The firm represents tenants and families living with mold, pests, water intrusion, and conditions no landlord should be permitted to ignore.

These clients face property owners and operators with far greater resources. That is precisely the fight this firm was built for.

  • Toxic mold and environmental exposure
  • Pest infestation and unsanitary conditions
  • Water intrusion and structural neglect
  • Constructive eviction and landlord retaliation
  • Code enforcement and agency proceedings
06

Outside General & Personal Counsel

For large businesses, publicly traded companies, corporate leaders, and high-net-worth families, the most valuable counsel is the one who already knows you before the critical moment arrives.

The firm serves as strategic advisor first and trial counsel when necessary, with a national network of specialists available under its direction.

  • Ongoing advisory for principals and companies
  • Personal counsel to executives and families
  • Sensitive matters requiring discretion
  • Crisis response and pre-litigation strategy
  • Entity formation and governance

Your matter belongs in one of these. Start the conversation.
