Miller Barondess LLP

Founded in 2006 by trial lawyer Skip Miller, his sons Dan and Jim, and partners Mark Barondess and Sasha Frid, Miller Barondess is built on a foundation of tenacity, skill, and courtroom success. With a reputation for fighting to win, Skip deployed his relentless, strategic, and aggressive litigation style to quickly establish the firm as a commercial litigation powerhouse. While the firm has grown significantly, we remain true to our boutique roots, delivering personalized and highly strategic advocacy.

The firm represents plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes, high-profile cases across California and nationwide. Our experienced attorneys deliver comprehensive counsel across diverse industries, including automotive, cybersecurity, entertainment, financial services, government, healthcare, insurance, private equity, real estate, sports, and technology. The firm's practice areas include antitrust and competition, appellate, business disputes, civil rights, employment, false advertising, False Claims Act, First Amendment, intellectual property, products liability, securities, and white collar defense.

Representing both plaintiffs and defendants in complex, high-profile cases, Miller Barondess goes toe-to-toe with the largest firms in the country—and wins. Known for stepping in to "save the day" before trial or on appeal, the firm is often retained by clients and other law firms when the stakes are highest, and results matter most.

Miller Barondess has experienced significant growth, driven by strategic hiring, targeted practice expansion, and a client-centric approach, reflecting robust business development fueled by stable leadership and strong relationships with public entities, high-profile individuals, entertainers, Fortune 500 companies, and public and private corporations.

Our partners prioritize building client relationships and mentoring associates to share best practices in business development. Rather than hiring based on books of business, we recruit talented lawyers, provide comprehensive training, and foster a team-oriented approach to ensure high-quality representation and exceptional client outcomes. We bring lawyers up through the ranks and offer a real path to partnership based on merit. The Associates Committee empowers junior lawyers to shape the firm's direction and culture, thereby enhancing retention and engagement.
