Home - AlvaradoSmith: Business Law Firm | Excellence in Practice. Diversity in People

In a law firm, broad, deep, and multi-faceted diversity is important to see the big picture and understand the broader context. It helps us relate to our clients and their employees, as well as today’s more-diverse juries and other triers of fact. That’s why AlvaradoSmith, one of California’s largest full-service minority-owned law firms, is creating something new and different: a truly diverse 21st-century firm committed to excellence and helping our clients succeed.

When a Fortune 50 company was looking to sell several thousand stations, we stepped on the gas.

We help a global company with some of their biggest deals, including a billion-dollar sale of an oil refinery and the $2 billion sale of nearly 2,000 service stations. We’re practical, roll-up-your-sleeves-get-it-done lawyers. We solve problems creatively and work efficiently. And we’re one of the largest full-service, minority-owned firms in California.

When Latin America’s largest retailer and supermarket chain was looking to sell their entire U.S. operations, they didn’t need to shop around.

They came to us, and we helped them sell the entire 9-store chain - a deal worth over $28 million. As one of the largest, full-service minority-owned law firm in California, we handle everything from national cases to local ones. We work harder and more efficiently to get the job done.
