Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP
At Allen Matkins, we help clients capitalize on opportunity.
Whether this opportunity comes from overcoming challenges or seeing and taking advantage of new technologies, business models, or global markets, we partner with clients to accomplish goals and drive success.
We are a premier California-based law firm specializing in real estate, litigation, labor, tax, and business law, with more than 200 attorneys in four major metropolitan areas of California: Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco and San Diego. From our base in California, we also serve the needs of our clients, whose interests are national and increasingly global.
For more than 30 years, we’ve worked with clients drawn to us by our reputation for creative solutions, pragmatism, exemplary quality, and approachability, and our unparalleled network of contacts and connections in business and government.
If we had to pride ourselves on just one thing, it would be our relationships with our clients who’ve entrusted us with their security, their livelihoods, and their aspirations. We look to honor them in everything we do.
Commitment to Community
We have a continuing commitment to the communities in which we work and live and support each member of the firm in helping them fulfill that commitment.
Allen Matkins attorneys and staff, through their involvement in civic affairs, charitable work, support for the arts, and pro bono legal work, play an active role in promoting the progress and well being of these communities.
In particular, our pro bono services help open doors for individuals who otherwise would not have the opportunity to obtain counsel. Our firm is involved in a variety of pro bono matters that have ranged from cases involving landlord/tenant disputes to representing various organizations in acquiring new facility space.
