An ‘entrepreneurial firm’, Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth stands out for its ’good business judgement’, which can be attributed to its decision to staff its teams with former investment bankers and in-house counsel. The group serves a multitude of early-stage start-ups, public companies, and private equity clients, with a marked focus on deals in the life sciences, technology, retail, and consumer products arenas. Chris Ivey and Tom Waldman jointly lead the team from Newport Beach and Los Angeles respectively; both represent companies and private equity clients on buy- and sell-side transactions. Additionally, Los Angeles-based Shoshana Zimmerman is recommended for her growing emerging companies practice, while Newport Beach-based Arash Lessantiz provides dedicated practice support.
