Law firm adds litigation practice to offerings

Sklar Kirsh LLP a California based boutique firm specializing in corporate, real estate, and entertainment law this week announced the addition of a Litigation practice group. The practice will be led by Justin M. Goldstein who, for the past two decades, has represented some of the country's largest and most well known companies in complex commercial and entertainment litigation.

Goldstein comes to Sklar Kirsh after leading the Entertainment & Media Litigation Group at Carlsmith Ball for seven years.

"Adding litigation capabilities to the firm's services perfectly complements our transactional practice," said firm Co-chairman Jeffrey Sklar, who oversees the firm's Corporate practice. "The litigation team brings several new institutional clients to our firm and will enhance our service offerings to our existing entertainment, corporate and real estate clients. While we've had tremendous growth in other areas, litigation is the piece that completes the picture."

A 1994 graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in journalism, Sklar earned his juris doctor from Loyola Law School of Los Angeles in 2001.

With offices in Century City, Calabasas and Pasadena, Sklar Kirsh was founded by attorneys from nationally and internationally recognized firms including Loeb & Loeb LLP, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, Latham & Watkins LLP, and O'Melveny & Myers LLP. The firm started with six lawyers in 2013, and now has 24 attorneys across its practice groups.
