Irvine Business Litigation & Commercial Law Attorneys

Located in the heart of the Irvine business district, Burkhalter Kessler Clement & George LLP (BKCG) is the premier legal partner for companies and high-net-worth individuals throughout Orange County.

From technology startups in the Irvine Spectrum to established real estate developers in Newport Beach and auto dealerships in Costa Mesa, we provide the aggressive litigation defense and strategic transactional counsel that Southern California businesses rely on.

Legal Solutions for Orange County Enterprises

We understand the unique economic landscape of Orange County. Our practice is tailored to address the specific legal challenges faced by businesses in our region:

Business Litigation

We represent Orange County companies in high-stakes disputes, including breach of contract, partnership dissolutions, and trade secret theft. Our trial-ready approach often leads to favorable settlements because opposing counsel knows we are prepared to win in court.

Commercial Real Estate Law

Irvine and the surrounding areas are hubs for commercial development. We advise landowners, developers, and investors on complex transactions and represent them in litigation involving commercial leases, buy-sell agreements, and zoning disputes.

Employment Litigation Defense

California labor laws are strict, and Orange County employers are frequent targets. We aggressively defend local businesses against claims of wrongful termination, wage and hour violations, and discrimination, protecting your reputation and your bottom line.

Auto Dealership Law

With a deep history of representing dealerships across Southern California, we handle franchise disputes, consumer defense (Lemon Law), and regulatory compliance for the region’s automotive sector.

Local Court Experience Matters

When your business is involved in a lawsuit, you need attorneys who know the local legal terrain. Our team has decades of experience litigating cases in Orange County Superior Courts.

We are intimately familiar with the procedures and judicial preferences at the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana and the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach. This local insight allows us to craft legal strategies that are not only legally sound but also tailored to the specific venue where your case will be heard.

We don’t just practice law; we get results. Our firm has secured significant victories for local clients, including:

  • $30 Million Defense Verdict for a client involving a large shopping center development dispute in Orange County.
  • $5.4 Million Jury Verdict for a dealership client in a breach of dealer agreement case.
  • Complete Defense Verdict on a $1 million fraud claim for a local investor.
