About
Founded 2002
Willenken stands out as a distinguished boutique litigation firm, celebrated for the remarkable trial prowess of our attorneys and our innovative strategic insights. Founded on the belief that securing excellent results for clients is our top priority, we consistently achieve more than what might be expected—because winning is essential. We embrace complexity with confidence, approach challenges with creativity, and possess an unwavering determination to succeed. For us, trials represent a chance for client triumph rather than merely moments of crisis. When clients choose Willenken, they place their trust in us; we respond by committing every ounce of expertise and dedication toward favorable resolutions. Our meticulous preparation assumes each case may head to trial while also seeking opportunities to deliver decisive advantages early on.
Specializing solely in complex commercial litigation—with particular attention given to intellectual property disputes, class actions, and product liability—we are headquartered in Los Angeles but actively manage cases across the country. For four years running, Benchmark Litigation has recognized Willenken among its exclusive "Recommended" firms within California's legal landscape—a testament to our prominence as one of America's leading litigation boutiques—and honored us as finalists for "Los Angeles Firm of the Year" twice while noting all partners' achievements as “Litigation Stars” during 2020-2021.
Additionally acclaimed by National Law Journal’s prestigious top 10 nationwide “Litigation Boutique Hot List” alongside recognitions from Daily Journal naming us a "Top Boutique" both this year and in 2015 exemplifies industry esteem towards our work at Willenken—built upon values that prioritize diversity and inclusion pervasively throughout practice endeavors since inception . As proud members predominantly comprising women practitioners driven forward through organizations such those like National Association of Minority Women-Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF), California Minority Counsel Program (CMCP), Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) etc.; these principles serve not just benchmarks—but hallmarks defining who we truly are today!
