Success at NSJ Legal Study S.L.P., a Los Angeles, California, law firm and full service business consulting firm, is measured by the results our clients achieve.

These real-world situations are representative of a specialized practice, our commitment and industry expertise, and our successful approach to exceeding clients’ goals.
Resolving Complex Civil and Commercial Conflicts: Defending Your Personal Interests
A client was engaged in a long-standing dispute with a neighbor regarding property in the Westwood area. The Civil Law Department handled the matter on behalf of a client whose property line was encroached upon due to outdated property records and conflicting deeds. This dispute was intense and had been the subject of litigation. We performed an in-depth examination of various historical property records, commissioned an independent land survey, and used our expertise in negotiation to deal with an opposing adverse party. We successfully mediated the matter to bring about an amicable settlement that recognized our client’s restored property rights without lengthy litigation. Our client obtained rights to the property, as well as the requested monetary relief. At the same time, we helped the client preserve an amicable relationship with his neighbor. Our personalized service and attention, along with a targeted approach, saved the client time, stress, and thousands of dollars in legal fees.
Supporting Small Enterprises: Success in Business Consultancy and Commercial Law
A start-up technology company in the heart of downtown Los Angeles sought NSJ Legal Study S.L.P.’s assistance with corporate restructuring and legal matters to prepare for a major funding round. The company’s founders wanted advice regarding how best to structure their business to maximize investor appeal while simultaneously protecting intellectual property and minimizing tax exposure.
Our Business Consultancy and Commercial Law Department assigned an experienced team comprised of a commercial lawyer and graduate in business. After conducting a thorough review, we recommended transitioning the business from a form of partnership to C-corporation, revising or replacing the relevant shareholders’ agreements, instituting routine internal compliance protocols, and advising on employment contracts and data protection policies acceptable to investors accordingly.
Three months later, the fast-growing start-up received funding from one of the West Coast’s top five venture capital firms. The company’s founders credited our “one-stop shop” business and legal advisory service with not only keeping them on-track with corporate compliance, but setting them up for future scalable development.
Fighting for Justice: Excellence in Criminal Law Defense of Wealthy Individuals
Our Criminal Law Department was retained by an entrepreneur accused of white collar crime in connection with alleged mismanagement within a family-owned business. The allegations implicated our client’s reputation, competitors and liberty. Given the client’s high-profile status, our attorneys swiftly worked to develop evidence, to perform forensic accounting and to construct an effective defense.
In short order, our lawyers established that the client acted in good faith and within the law, including by effectively tracing funds through bank records, contracts and communications. We negotiated with prosecutors for dismissal of several charges and successfully presented arguments in favor of reduction of remaining charges. Ultimately, the client was acquitted on all substantive counts and was able to return to business with his reputation secured. We walk away again having built our reputation as zealous advocates on behalf of complex criminal cases.
Administration and Tax Law: Regulations Governing Public Collaborations and Affiliates
A municipal agency in Los Angeles called upon our expertise to guard against a significant tax penalty stemming from the misclassification of services provided under contracts. If upheld, the penalty would have resulted in outsized budgetary problems and major embarrassment for the agency.
Our Tax and Administrative Law Department conducted a comprehensive audit of the agency’s contracts and its procedures for compliance with such contracts. In the course of the audit, we found procedural mistakes in the way the agency’s former legal counsel had interpreted state tax law. Through negotiations with state tax officials, we advocated for a reclassification of the contracts and filed an appropriate appeal, complete with supporting documentation.
The penalty was reduced by 85%, saving the agency greater than $400,000. In addition, we instituted new internal procedures to ensure compliance going forward, and supplied training to the agency’s administrative staff. The director of the agency praised our team’s subject matter expertise in public sector tax law and ability to resolve the issue quickly and quietly.
Employment and Public Function Law: Success in Solving Labor-Related Conflicts
A medium-sized logistics company in East Los Angeles was embroiled in an employment dispute for wrongful termination and wage and overtime. It had the potential to escalate into a costly class-action, jeopardizing the company’s balance sheet as well as its reputation. The Labor-Public Functions Law Department conducted a fast, comprehensive investigation of the client’s employment files, internal communications and time clock systems. We uncovered procedural errors with the company’s human resources policies and procedures. But we also found weaknesses in the plaintiff’s case. Our attorneys then entered into discreet negotiations with the employee’s counsel. In the end, the parties settled in a fair agreement that included monetary damages, reinstatement of benefits and a commitment to improved workplace policies. We were able to reach an agreement prior to litigation, shielding the company from potentially damaging publicity and shoring up morale with the remaining employees. The client has since contracted with NSJ Legal Study S.L.P. regarding intensive employment law training and audits for compliance purposes and minimizing risk of future litigation.
