Hill, Farrer & Burrill LLP

For many years the firm has defended professionals in claims of negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud. We regularly represent large law firms in defending claims for legal malpractice and malicious prosecution and have an unparalleled level of success in so doing. We also regularly represent real estate brokers sued for negligence and fraud; on occasion we also represent other professionals, including accountants, architects and engineers.

It is the Firm’s policy to recognize and promote diversity in its business dealings with clients, staff, and the greater legal community.  We are committed to enhancing the opportunities of women, people of color, and others who have been traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession to participate meaningfully in the practice of law and management of the firm.  We view our commitment to diversity as an ongoing, important, and worthwhile initiative that is consistent with our being a major  law firm in such a culturally diverse region as Los Angeles County.

Our dedication to diversity begins with the law schools at which we recruit, and extends to the hiring of staff and the selection of qualified partners and firm managers to run the day-to-day affairs of the firm.   We maintain a strong Equal Employment Policy and are proud of our long history of operating a law practice in which attorneys and staff feel welcomed and appreciated.  We intend to continue demonstrating the importance of diversity to the firm by sponsoring continuing education programs devoted to expanding opportunities for women and minorities in the legal field, participating in bar activities that recognize and promote diversity, and engaging in other activities in the community which foster and recognize the importance of diversity in our society.
