About Tajima LLP

A boutique litigation firm built for businesses, business owners, and executives — as well as individuals, trusts, and organizations — who need more than just legal advice. They need results.

Chase Tajima
Our Story

Built for Complex Disputes

Tajima LLP was founded to bring together skilled litigators trained at leading law schools — including Georgetown, Cornell, UCLA, USC, USD, and Loyola Law — and experienced at leading national firms. We built this firm to offer the sophistication of a large firm with the agility and personal attention of a boutique — and at rates that are substantially lower than what large firms charge.

Clients choose us because of our track record. Whether we are securing multi-million dollar arbitration awards for plaintiffs or winning defense verdicts in federal court, our focus is always on achieving the best possible outcome for the people and businesses we represent.

We handle complex civil disputes across California and internationally — including many of the same types of matters handled by large national firms, but without the overhead costs that drive their billing rates. Our opponents know that if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take a case to trial. That reputation is one of our clients' greatest advantages.

Clients seek out Tajima LLP when they need a highly strategic, aggressive litigation firm capable of handling complex partnership disputes, real estate conflicts, and corporate litigation. We have gone up against some of the largest and most formidable law firms in the world — and prevailed — at a fraction of our opponents' cost. Our edge is not size but precision: a lean, focused team that moves faster, thinks more creatively, and leverages cutting-edge technology to outmaneuver opponents burdened by layers of bureaucracy and bloated staffing. Whether navigating a complex trial in Orange County or resolving a high-value breach of contract dispute in Los Angeles, our focus remains singular: maximizing leverage and delivering decisive results for our clients.
