Comprehensive Legal Solutions For The Business of Business

Southern California’s most trusted firm for corporate, employment, and business law

Speaking the Same Language

Being an entrepreneur or business owner requires a diverse skill set, but those skills rarely extend to the legal realm – especially in California’s constantly changing regulatory environment.

Even if you have in-house counsel, the right firm can complement your capabilities with specific expertise in areas like mergers and acquisitions, new business formation, real estate transactions, and other niche areas of the law.

Merhab Robinson & Clarkson can provide that expertise – and more.

Our principals’ unique business backgrounds and legal knowledge allow the MRC team to speak the same language as business owners and craft custom solutions that generate favorable outcomes.

Extremely Responsive to All My Questions

“I am a trust client of Paula and I cannot say enough positive things about her/their knowledge of trusts and estate planning. She has always been extremely responsive to my questions and concerns and educates me in the process. I have referred my son and a close friend to her, and they are also very pleased. I was referred to her by a friend in family law, and I remain impressed.”

– Anne B., Client

Ms. Robinson is an Excellent Attorney

“Ms. Robinson is an excellent attorney. She and her firm have represented our company as corporate counsel for over 30 years. I have worked with Marla for over 20 years, and she is extremely knowledgeable, articulate, responsive, helpful – the list goes on. She can form a corporation or LLC, write or revise a contract within minutes, and she’s a highly effective negotiator. She and her colleagues have seen us through countless corporate ventures, contract negotiations, employee matters, and more.”

– Aimee M., Client

Timely, Professional, and Reasonable

“Ms. Clarkson inherited me when my attorney left his practice to serve as a judge, so I was a bit apprehensive using this firm initially. But after my first visit, and every time since over the last few years, Ms. Clarkson and her staff have done everything I needed in a very timely, professional, and reasonable manner. I highly recommend this firm for your Estate planning.”

– T. Gibson, Client
