San Diego's Business Attorneys
Small Firm Relationships | Large Firm Results
At Panakos Law, our name reflects our mission—providing an all-encompassing remedy for legal needs. Serving the greater San Diego area and throughout California, our firm offers a broad spectrum of legal services tailored to the specific stages of a business's lifecycle. This includes assisting with starting, funding, operating, and exiting businesses. Our experienced attorneys are well-versed in business entity formations, contract drafting, review and enforcement of all types of contracts, private and public securities, investor relations, business exits and acquisitions, intellectual property rights, business disputes, complex multi-party litigation, and even estate planning and probate disputes.
Experienced Team with Real-World Business Insight
Our team at Panakos Law is not just composed of experienced business attorneys but also includes professionals with firsthand experience in owning, operating, and exiting businesses. This unique background, combined with experience in the private equity industry, equips our staff with valuable insights from both sides of the business world. At Panakos Law, we prioritize building long-term relationships with our clients by focusing on their needs rather than just billable services. We offer a transparent pricing structure—either flat-fee or billed hourly, as well as contingency-based billing and even “hybrid” engagements—and a free initial consultation to precisely identify the legal needs before recommending a clear scope of services. Our commitment extends beyond legal advice, helping clients achieve their personal and business goals efficiently and cost-effectively.
Specialized Yet Comprehensive Legal Services
We operate as a small yet versatile firm specializing in comprehensive legal services for business owners, managers and officers including in-house counsel. Our interdisciplinary commercial-law practice has an international reach, covering all aspects of business law from entity formation to mergers and acquisitions, and handling complex litigation and alternative resolutions through mediation and arbitration proceedings. Our team of business lawyers and support staff takes a proactive approach to legal issues, focusing on strategic solutions and effective dispute resolution to protect and enhance our clients' personal and business interests throughout the entire lifecycle of their business.
