Safarian Choi & Bolstad LLP is a business law firm focused on transactions and legal disputes arising in commercial real estate, labor & employment and the day-to-day operations of corporate clients ranging from small businesses to national and international banking institutions and Fortune 500 companies.


Founded by former “big firm” partners, Safarian Choi & Bolstad LLP was established to offer the sophisticated skills, knowledge and instincts obtained at large regional, national and multinational firms, but in a more flexible format that is creative, cost-effective and customized to meet individual client needs.

Today, Safarian Choi & Bolstad LLP is based in downtown Los Angeles and provides a wide range of niche legal services in the following practice areas: Real Estate, Finance & Capital Markets, Corporate & Transactional, Real Property Litigation, Labor & Employment Litigation & Counseling, Environmental Litigation and Consumer Class Action Defense.

While the founding partners hail from Chambers and AM Law 100 ranked firms, their mission with this venture was to streamline the process by which exceptional legal counsel is provided. Devoid of big firm attitude and free of rigid fee, billing and staffing structures, the attorneys of Safarian Choi & Bolstad LLP instead rely on the seasoned, hands-on legal talents of appropriately-staffed attorney teams to meet the needs of even the most exacting clients – whether they be large institutional lenders or community banks, real estate companies or construction and design firms, investment funds or private individuals.

Clients certainly benefit from the rigorous training and broad skill set Safarian Choi & Bolstad LLP partners cultivated and refined over years spent at leading U.S. firms, but we are consistently told that clients equally value the low-overhead, transparently-staffed and reliably-priced approach.

Our attorneys love what they do and how they do it – and it shows.

With an ever-shifting financial climate, particularly in the areas of real estate lending and investment – but also across industries and for every type of business – savvy legal counsel continues to be a crucial component to business success. But now more than ever, clients expect strong, ongoing relationships built on a foundation of trusted advice and consistent results.

That is why they come to us in the first place and, more importantly, that is why they stay.
