Mesriani Law Group Secures Summary Judgment for Business Client in Trade Secret Violation Claim
Created: October 21, 2009Categoy: Law Firm News and Updates
Los Angeles – The business and corporate law division of the Mesriani Law Group has successfully defended a business client against a trade secret violation claim following the granting of the Motion for Summary Judgment by the state Superior Court, resulting in $ 200,000 sanctions in favor of Czar Jewelry Inc., as well as costs in the approximate sum of $15,000 for a total of $215,000.
The summary judgment was granted after the Court had determined that there was no “triable issue of material law or facts” and found that the plaintiff had “acted in bad faith” pursuant to the bad faith standards under California Civil Code section 3426.4. A subsequent motion was brought by Mesriani & Associates seeking sanctions for their attorney’s fees and costs in defending a frivolous and worthless lawsuit.
Winning this motion is considered a major achievement for the firm since in most cases, a summary judgment is granted only in exceptional circumstances. To do this, Mesriani’s business litigation team had to overcome several obstacles, including having to deal with the legal standard that allows a party to oppose the Motion not by proving its case but by simply providing any possible dispute of law or fact.
Nevertheless, Mesriani’s business attorneys were able to prove that the other party (plaintiff) had no support for its claims, even using the other party’s own documents and statements against them. With exceptional legal research and knowledge of the law, the Mesriani Law group has proven once again what it takes to be one of L.A.’s top law firms.
With these efforts, the Mesriani Law Group has again allowed another client to move on with its business, free from the risks of a lawsuit and litigation, yet recovering their fees and costs and deter others from filing such frivolous lawsuits against them.

Employment Law - (Law Firm News) November 11, 2010
Los Angeles – Experienced employment lawyers of the Mesriani Law Group, one of Los Angeles and southern California’s leading law firms, have successfully negotiated settlement for a sexual discrimination and harassment victim.
Records show that the victim, who worked as an Assistant Store Manager, began experiencing harassment acts when she was asked to report directly to the store manager. The victim said the manager told her about his marital problems despite the victim’s disapproval of the practice. She also complained that the manager asked her to go out on dates but declined the invitation.
According to the victim, the harassment acts continued and even intensified when the victim showed that she disapproved of his advances. The victim was sometimes required to stay late and way past her shift; she was also asked to work on areas that are no longer part of her responsibilities. Sometimes, the manager would also display violent emotional outburst in front of her.
On two occasions, the victim was denied to take some time off from work even after she requested permission for leave and the victim gave ample notice of the requests.
When the manager learned that the victim had reported the discriminatory and harassment acts, the manager retaliated by asking her to make an email request for transfer to another transfer to make it appear that the victim did it voluntarily.
The victim was so traumatized with her experiences that one day she decided not to come to work. She suffered severe emotional distress and also feared for her safety. She had chest pains and anxiety attacks.
After consulting with doctors, the victim was prescribed medication and advised to take eight days off from work.
Immediately thereafter the victim sought the help of employment lawyers of the Mesriani Law Group who wasted no time in attending to her case. With the timely and effective representation of the Mesriani Law Group, a successful settlement of the case was secured.
Mesriani Law Group has again obtained justice for the victim of sexual discrimination and harassment.
