For sophisticated businesses, litigation is just as critical to success as any other strategy. The decision to litigate, whether to launch, defend or settle actions, depends on a delicate calculation, with the company’s marketplace opportunities and profitability – perhaps even the future of the enterprise – hanging in the balance.
The attorneys at Marasigan Law Practice, are seasoned and pragmatic. We are well attuned to each client’s needs and provide clients with innovative and timely strategic counsel to help them make better-informed decisions, resolve complex legal challenges and achieve specific business goals.
Our attorneys are particularly adept at handling delicate negotiations among firmly entrenched parties. We understand that in certain circumstances our clients cannot envision coming to terms with an adversary. This is especially evident in cases when a company splits apart and disagreement about division of assets is highly contentious. In such cases, we provide clear-headed advice and a range of options to help bridge the chasm between dueling parties so they can reach agreements and avoid protracted fights that can easily distract from running the new businesses successfully.
Employment disputes can often have significant consequences for the employer and the affected employee(s). Our attorneys have represented both employers and employees in a wide range of cases, including:
- Workplace discrimination and/or harassment
- Wage and hour disputes including issues of overtime, meal time, rest break, vacation pay, and paystub violations
- Employee misclassification
- Wrongful termination
- Employee indemnification
- Employment contracts
- Trade secrets
- Disability discrimination
- Age discrimination
Our attorneys recognize that litigation, particularly for employers, is sometimes a “zero-sum” proposition. Thus, in addition to assisting our clients after litigation has arisen, our attorneys also counsel clients with respect to their employment practices in an effort to curb litigation whenever possible.

Our attorneys understand that death or incapacity of a loved can be difficult, devastating and distressing. That is why it is important that wishes of a deceased or incapacitated loved one are fulfilled. Unfortunately, their wishes can only be surmised from wills and/or trusts that they leave behind. This can result in a myriad of disputes such as:
- Will contests
- Trust contests
- Conservatorship disputes
- Capacity disputes
- Trustee liability
- Creditor claims
The attorneys at Marasigan Law Practice have experience representing heirs, beneficiaries, trustees, executors and creditors through trial.
Many people assume that a corporation is the only business entity that can be chosen when starting a new business. Selection of the most appropriate form of business organization (corporation, LLC,…) for any business enterprise involves consideration of many factors, including taxation, management structure, limitation of personal liability, capital structure, ownership succession, and the like. Our attorneys have the necessary knowledge and experience to assist clients in determining exactly how each of these factors may affect them and their business organization, and in blending all of these factors together to reach a conclusion concerning the most appropriate form of business entity. Our attorneys can assist you in selecting, forming, and/or reorganizing all types of business entities, including corporations, general and limited partnerships, joint ventures and limited liability companies. Other services in the Corporate/Business Law field include, but are not limited to:
- Assisting business owners in purchase or sale of their business, including mergers and reorganizations
- Advising business owners regarding business succession issues, including buy-sell and stockholder agreements
- Counseling business owners regarding contract intellectual property and employment issues.

Typical personal injuries include those to one’s person (such as assault, battery, negligence), or injuries to one’s property (such as trespass, conversion and nuisance). If you have suffered an injury (whether physical or emotional) you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover everything you have lost (pain and suffering, doctor and hospital bills, medication, therapy, lost wages, future earning capacity, etc.).

Under California law, if you do not otherwise express how you want your estate to be distributed after your death, your estate will be split among your “heirs at law.” Contrary to the belief of some, your wishes must be expressed in the form of a properly executed will or trust.
