Ranked one of Los Angeles’ largest firms, Liner Yankelevitz Sunshine & Regenstreif LLP (LYS&R) is a dynamic law firm with a distinguished roster of talented attorneys who are leading the way in their respective fields of law.  Approximately half of our partners were recruited from “Am Law 100” firms. Our attorneys represent clients throughout the country and internationally via the Los Angeles and San Francisco offices. 

Our solid reputation for success is due to the strong legal representation, personal service and integrity we deliver to clients.  Our diverse client base includes Fortune 500 companies and other institutional entities, as well as small businesses and individual entrepreneurs.  A full-service firm, LYS&R offers broad expertise in intellectual property, bankruptcy, real estate, business disputes, finance, white collar crime, products liability, toxic tort, environmental, insurance, corporate, and tax and estate planning. 

LYS&R delivers the broad expertise of a large law firm combined with the personal responsiveness and attention traditionally associated with a small firm.  Our commitment to client service is built on a foundation of personal attention—we develop a personal relationship with each client, rather than simply servicing the client’s immediate need.  We remain sensitive to our clients’ objectives by staying current with changes in the law and markets that affect their business interests.  In addition, our rate structure permits LYS&R the flexibility to meet clients’ budgetary restraints.

Since four attorneys established the firm in 1996, LYS&R has grown to approximately 80 attorneys today.  This exponential growth is testimony to our ability to attract and retain clients and to draw talented lawyers from leading law firms and prestigious law schools who are seeking an energetic environment in which to practice.

We are proud of recently being named one of the “Best Places to Work in Los Angeles” by the Los Angeles Business Journal.  There were only three other law firms designated with this honor.  Because of our culture, we have extraordinarily high client and attorney retention rates.  A large percentage of LYS&R’s practice comes from repeat business and satisfied client and lawyer referrals.  Our reputation for success depends upon our ability to provide clients with personalized, high quality legal services at reasonable rates.  We are dedicated to the continued achievement of that goal.

Diversity

LYS&R has been able to attract a significant talent pool from a variety of cultures and backgrounds.  Dedication to creating a diverse community within LYS&R guarantees that we bring varied experiences and perspectives to our clients’ legal issues. We are committed to attracting and retaining a talented and diverse group of attorneys and staff that will continue furthering our reputation of excellence in the legal profession.  Ensuring diversity throughout the firm is not just the right thing to do, but is central to our dedication to the communities and clients that we serve.
