Orange County is home to one of the country's fastest growing and most dynamic business communities.

More than 30 years ago, Paul Hastings was among the first law firms to recognize Orange County's growing importance as a center for new technology and biotechnology businesses and to open an office there. We now represent many of Orange County's leading companies and our depth of practice and long history in the area have made us the firm of choice for Fortune 500 and other major international companies who operate or have legal needs in the region. We also serve the emerging growth companies who fuel the area's reputation for vitality and innovation.

Our capabilities in Orange County have kept pace with the remarkable transformation of the area into a major business and financial center. Our thriving full-service practice represents clients in a diverse range of matters involving real estate, intellectual property, antitrust and competition, creditors' rights and bankruptcy, class action and securities fraud, environmental and toxic torts, product liability and entertainment issues.

Our Corporate finance practice represents numerous technology and other companies, often as general counsel. We have the leading practice in Orange County representing venture capital and buyout funds. Our Litigation group, whose senior litigators have extensive trial experience, has played a lead role in many of the most complex and high profile litigation disputes in the region. Our Tax practice, along with handling estate planning and other matters for high net-worth individuals, regularly collaborates with other practice areas in structuring and documenting complex transactions for major international clients.
