San Francisco, California Business and Employment Law Attorney and Litigator
Business law issues and employment disputes have a tremendous impact on your time, financial interests and success, but they can be complex. Obtaining a positive outcome requires knowledge, sound judgment and strict attention to detail. Securing experienced, ethical legal representation is essential to protecting your interests.
At the Bay Area Law Offices of David R. Lipson, our mission is to combine outstanding legal representation with a commitment to cost-effectiveness. We accomplish this by focusing individualized attention to each of our clients' unique circumstances and legal issues.
Our consistent approach to litigation, transactions and legal counseling is to ask the fundamental question: What result will best serve the client's interests and what is the most cost-effective way to achieve it?
Contact our office to discuss how we can help.
Experience On Your Side
Attorney David R. Lipson was educated at Harvard Law School and Stanford University. Since beginning his legal career more than 35 years ago, Attorney Lipson has served as in-house counsel for a Fortune 500 corporation, in the public sector, and as a lawyer in private practice. He has legal experience both inside a major corporation and serving as outside business counsel.
He is decisive in litigation, but also has a substantial background in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques such as mediation. He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants, which makes him more effective and efficient by allowing him to anticipating the other side's perspective.
Providing High-Quality, Focused Legal Counsel
Our firm is able to provide high quality legal service because we focus on specific practice areas instead of seeking to be "all things to all people." We represent individuals and businesses, plaintiffs and defendants in matters involving:
- Employment law and employment discrimination
- Business litigation including cases of insurance bad faith
- Business contracts and commercial leases
A Reasonable Approach to Legal Fees
Our approach to legal fees is different from that of many law firms. We handle plaintiff cases on a contingent-fee basis when successful litigation appears probable. We also represent plaintiffs on a "blended" rate basis — a combination of a reduced contingency percentage and a reduced hourly rate.
When Attorney Lipson represents defendants in litigation or does contract or transactional work, he bills on an hourly basis but excludes time that does not provide value directly to clients.
We welcome the opportunity to talk with you and discuss how we may be of service. Contact us by e-mail or at 415-677-4300.
