Betty Lopez
Our mid-sized manufacturing company faced a complex breach of contract and unfair competition lawsuit from a former distributor. The situation was threatening significant financial and reputational damage. We selected Robert Platt at Manatt based on his firm's strong reputation and his specific recognition in commercial litigation. From our first meeting, it was clear Mr. Platt possessed a deep, strategic understanding of the nuances in California business law. He didn't just react to the plaintiff's claims; he developed a proactive defense that leveraged his experience in both contract interpretation and the competitive practices common in our industry. His background in labor and employment law also proved invaluable when the dispute touched upon non-solicitation clauses with former employees. While his billing rates are consistent with top-tier Los Angeles firms, and there were occasional delays in receiving email responses during particularly busy periods, the value he delivered was undeniable. He successfully negotiated a settlement that protected our core business interests and avoided a costly, public trial. Mr. Platt is a sharp, effective attorney who commands respect from opposing counsel. We felt well-represented and would confidently engage his services again for complex commercial matters.
