From an early interest in constitutional litigation to a stint at the Department of Justice, federal appeals court clerkship, decade of practice at prestigious international law firms, and then founding her own law firm in 2006, Harmeet’s legal career has been marked by a passion for justice, a zeal for attacking legal challenges, and an intense sense of satisfaction in helping her clients realize creative and practical solutions to seemingly intractable problems. Following a clerkship with the Hon. Paul V. Niemeyer of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Ms. Dhillon’s practice in New York, London, and the San Francisco Bay Area has focused on federal and state commercial litigation and arbitration, with a particular emphasis on unfair competition/trade secret misappropriation, intellectual property (including trademark litigation and internet torts), complex contractual disputes, and First Amendment litigation (including defamation, trade libel, right of publicity, and anti-SLAPP motions). Harmeet’s broad experience also encompasses securities, entertainment, employment discrimination and civil rights matters. Ms. Dhillon has developed a niche practice in representing clients across California in election and campaign law matters, ranging from general compliance and ethics representation for partisan and non-partisan contenders to ballot description contests and intellectual property matters pertaining to campaign communications. She is regularly retained by candidates and campaigns for advice on complex legal issues. Harmeet has practiced before numerous state and federal courts and administrative tribunals across the United States, has successfully handled several trials (jury and bench), arbitrations (including international), and mediations, and has resolved many business disputes prior to the initiation of litigation. Admitted to practice law in New York and California, she has been a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales. Harmeet’s clients at Dhillon Law Group have included e-Commerce leaders, private companies, entrepreneurs, celebrities, film and music artists, authors, advertising executives, franchisees, public utilities, educational institutions and nonprofits.

Ms. Dhillon's deep background in constitutional law and federal appeals was evident in my case, particularly her experience with the Department of Justice. She handled the legal nuances well, but I found the communication delays frustrating. While she explained complex legal concepts clearly, the waiting times between updates were longer than expected. For a general practice matter, her expertise was solid, but I wished the service matched her impressive resume.

Harmeet Dhillon was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her background in constitutional litigation and her tenure at the Department of Justice brought a level of expertise to my case that I couldn’t have found elsewhere. She handled a complex contract dispute with precision, leveraging her experience from top international law firms to craft a winning strategy. Her deep understanding of federal legal frameworks was invaluable. However, I did notice that her response times were occasionally slower than I’d hoped, which was a minor inconvenience given the urgency of some matters. Overall, her legal acumen and dedication to her clients make her a top-tier attorney in Los Angeles. Highly recommended for anyone needing a general practice lawyer with a strong litigation background.
Susan Peterson
Harmeet Dhillon is clearly a knowledgeable attorney with a strong background, particularly in constitutional litigation and her time at the Department of Justice. When I needed assistance with a contract dispute, I expected her depth of experience to translate into a seamless resolution. While she did handle the legal aspects competently, I found her communication somewhat lacking. There were periods where I felt left in the dark about case progress, and responses to questions were often delayed. The resolution itself was satisfactory, but I was surprised at how little she leveraged her international law firm experience to my advantage. For someone with her credentials, I anticipated more personalized attention. That said, the outcome was positive, and she does have impressive credentials—just not the most attentive hands-on approach I’ve experienced. Worth considering if you prioritize expertise over responsiveness.
Jacob Lopez
I had the pleasure of working with Harmeet Dhillon on a complex real estate transaction in Los Angeles. Her background in constitutional litigation and her experience at the Department of Justice gave her a unique perspective that proved invaluable. She navigated the intricacies of my case with precision, and her decade of practice at top international law firms was evident in her strategic approach. Harmeet's ability to break down complex legal concepts into understandable terms was a game-changer for me. One minor area for improvement would be her response time to emails, which occasionally took longer than expected. However, her legal counsel was top-notch, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a general practice attorney. Her expertise and professionalism made a challenging situation much more manageable. I'll definitely be returning to her for future legal needs.
Barbara Johnson
I worked with Harmeet Dhillon on a complex contract dispute, and while her legal expertise was clearly evident—especially given her background at the Department of Justice and her experience in constitutional litigation—I found the communication process somewhat inconsistent. Harmeet’s deep understanding of general practice law and her strategic approach to litigation were undeniable, but there were times when responses were delayed, which added unnecessary stress to an already high-stakes situation. Her attention to detail in reviewing contracts and identifying potential loopholes was impressive, but I wish there had been clearer expectations set regarding timelines. Overall, she delivered competent representation, but I would have appreciated more proactive updates and a more structured communication plan. Her legal acumen is top-tier, but her client management could use refinement.
