At Kimura London & White LLP, we understand the stakes and are committed to helping business owners navigate these challenges.

Our firm handles a wide range of business disputes, including:
Breach of Contract
A contract breach occurs when one party does not fulfill their obligations. Whether it's a supplier failing to deliver goods, a business partner going back on their word, or a company refusing to pay for services rendered, our firm aggressively protects your rights and ensures the contract terms are upheld.
Corporate Disputes
Disputes between shareholders, executives, or board members can significantly impact your company's success. We handle cases involving mismanagement, fiduciary duty violations, and partnership disagreements, helping clients resolve conflicts effectively while protecting their business interests.
Real Estate Litigation
Business-related real estate disputes, including lease disagreements, construction defects, and land use issues, require experienced legal representation. Our firm has successfully litigated against developers and property owners to secure favorable outcomes for our clients.
Shareholder and Partnership Disputes
Disagreements between business partners or shareholders can cripple a company. We help business owners, executives, and investors resolve disputes efficiently through litigation or negotiation, ensuring that their rights are protected.
Unfair Business Practices
California has some of the strongest laws against unfair business practices. If another business is engaging in fraud, false advertising, or deceptive trade practices, we can help you seek damages and protect your business from further harm.
Insurance Disputes
Insurance companies don't always act in good faith. If your business is being denied coverage or underpaid on a legitimate claim, we can challenge the insurance provider to ensure that you get the compensation you're owed.
Business Defamation and Trade Libel
Reputation is everything in business. False statements made about your company can cause financial and reputational damage. We represent business owners in defamation, slander, and trade libel cases to restore their good name and recover damages.
Intellectual Property Disputes
Your business's patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets are valuable assets. If someone is infringing on your intellectual property, we can take swift legal action to stop the unauthorized use and seek financial compensation.
Collection and Payment Disputes
Businesses often struggle with collecting payments that are rightfully owed. When non-payment impacts operations, legal action may be necessary. We help businesses enforce contracts and recover outstanding debts through litigation and negotiation.
Trade Secrets and Non-Compete Disputes
Trade secret theft and violations of non-compete agreements can significantly impact your company's market position. If a competitor or former employee is misusing your confidential information, we provide legal solutions to protect your intellectual property and business interests.

Protection requires non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and strong internal security policies. Limiting access to critical information helps too. An attorney reviews these measures for full compliance with the laws.
