Bhakta Law Firm provides representation on a broad range of business and commercial disputes which include, but are not limited to: breach of contract/warranty, ADA public accommodation lawsuits, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, misappropriation of trade secrets, product liability, class actions, collections, fraud, real estate disputes, insurance disputes, unfair business practices, defamation, shareholder derivative actions, employment disputes, ownership and partnership disputes, and false advertising.
Business and Corporate Law
Bhakta Law Firm handles transactional matters involving the entire life-cycle of a business, including business start-up, entity selection and formation, ongoing corporate governance, day-to-day operations and strategy, mergers & acquisitions, and dissolution.
Labor and Employment (Compliance and Litigation)
Bhakta Law Firm represents and advises employers on all aspects of compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations including litigation prevention, employee discipline and termination, wage and hour issues, employment practices advice, employment agreements and handbooks, and discrimination and harassment laws and training.
Unfortunately, in California, experienced businessowners know that it’s no longer a matter of “if” your business is involved in a lawsuit, but “when” your business is involved in a lawsuit. Bhakta Law Firm defends employers against all aspects of employment-related claims which include, but are not limited to: wrongful termination in violation of public policy, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, failure to engage in the interactive process, failure to pay minimum wage, failure to pay overtime, failure to provide meal periods, failure to provide rest periods, failure to timely pay wages, failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements, failure to pay wages upon separation from employment, failure to provide sick leave, violation of California’s Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”), and unfair business practices / unfair competition.
Trial and Arbitration Practice
In the world of unreasonable attorneys and pie-in-the-sky demands, sometimes securing a victory at trial or in arbitration is the only path forward. Bhakta Law Firm’s lead attorney, Ankit H. Bhakta, has a demonstrated track record of success when the stakes are at their highest. Whether a jury trial, bench trial, or arbitration, Bhakta Law Firm has the experience and know-how to close out cases when there is no other option.
