Pacific Juris pllc is a general practice law firm dedicated to helping our clients achieve healthy corporate growth, secure quality contractual relationships and achieve their business goals. Every stage in the growth of a business has unique challenges. We are pleased to serve all sizes of clients, from startups though established entities.

To support this vision our areas of concentration include domestic and international contracts; company formation, mergers and acquisitions; corporate governance and due diligence; intellectual property and technology licensing; digital and artistic rights; and dispute resolution including mediation, arbitration and litigation.

From the Boardroom...

Nothing teaches like experience. Years of hands-on operational corporate management experience in the high technology sector mean we understand the challenges you face and the decisions you must make each day.

To the Courtroom...

Occasionally in business as in life, disagreements arise. We will work with you to find practical solutions. That's good business. But should you need litigation, mediation or arbitration support, our years of courtroom experience mean we will be there with you. That's good counsel.

A legal counselor will help you envision and plan for future events now, when it is most cost-efficient for you. Because younger companies may not be familiar with this benefit, and mature companies may be moving into new territory, we offer a one-half hour complimentary consultation for new clients.

We strive to deliver our services for a fee you are comfortable with and consider a sound investment in your business growth. We offer several options to meet this goal, including hourly, project-based or result-based fee arrangements.

Attorney Referrals

We are pleased to offer our services to fellow attorneys for conflict-out or independent legal advice referrals, as local counsel on inter-jurisdictional matters, or as private consulting counsel. We respect your primary attorney-client relationship at all times. Please contact us for a confidential discussion of special fee and retainer options.

Contract Counsel

Being on-site and participating in the business day enables corporate counsel to provide unique, highly efficient guidance. For corporate clients who do not require full-time corporate counsel, we offer specialized contract-counsel services that bring us into your office based on your need - be it hours per day or days per month.
