OUR PRACTICE AREAS

Vivoli Saccuzzo LLP is a boutique litigation firm that specializes in representing both plaintiffs and defendants in a variety of litigated matters before the trial and appellate courts. We regularly and successfully litigate against high net worth individuals and large corporations and the large national law firms typically retained by our clients’ opponents. We always apply a zealous but pragmatic and common sense approach to each case to provide our clients with the most efficient use of resources possible to successfully meet their goals. We pride ourselves on consistently and efficiently providing our clients with positive, business-oriented outcomes on all their legal matters, whether at trial, on appeal or through settlement. And we are perhaps most proud that nearly all our clients were referred to us either by existing, long-term clients or by other lawyers.

We provide an extensive range of legal services through primary practice areas as follows: Business and Commercial Litigation, Business Transactions, Real Estate Transactions and Litigation, Employment Practices and Litigation, and Intellectual Property Litigation. Our services provide client support with the full range of legal issues and challenges that businesses face as they develop strategies and deliver their plans. We are there for the important business issues, day in, and day out, year after year. Our lawyers are trained and fully conversant with the cultural and business practices of all California jurisdictions. Vivoli Saccuzzo, LLP is dedicated to providing the highest quality, professional and ethical legal representation in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

We regularly prosecute and defend the full spectrum of civil litigation related matters in both the state and federal courts of California, and are well known as aggressive and, more importantly, effective litigators. We pride ourselves on being “trial attorneys,” and not merely “civil litigators.” In other words, we do not hesitate to take cases to trial and are often called upon by other attorneys to take cases to trial either with them or alone.
We have a wealth of expertise and accumulated knowledge in dealing with the broad spectrum of litigation and transactional real estate related matters. We have broad experience representing buyers, sellers, agents, brokers, managers, tenants, mortgagors, lenders, lien-holders, and investors in real estate investments of all types and sizes. We have successfully litigated numerous cases involving misrepresentations and failures to disclose, breaches of real estate contracts, lease disputes, title insurance disputes, boundary line disputes, easement and encroachment disputes, land use and zoning disputes, title or deed disputes and mechanics liens.
In connection with our civil litigation practice we have litigated virtually every conceivable type of contract and business related matter, including but not limited to purchase, lease and construction contracts, government contracts, architectural and engineer contracts, property management contracts, employment contracts, commercial buy-sell contracts, intellectual property agreements, business dissolution agreements, investment fraud, joint venture agreements and partnership contracts. Our clients have included real estate investors, businesses, management companies, construction companies and individuals (both high net-worth and average income).
We are known for obtaining uncommon results prosecuting insurance coverage and bad faith claims. Our firm has successfully litigated cases against many national and international insurance companies and we have a proven track record of obtaining outstanding results for our clients. We have litigated insurance disputes involving personal, professional and commercial lines of insurance, garage keeper policies, and title insurance policies. Our broad base of experience in representing the business of all types and sizes has provided us with experience in dissecting and enforcing insurance policies in a variety of settings.
We have successfully prosecuted legal malpractice and associated claims against some of the largest law firms in California. We have also successfully prosecuted malicious prosecution claims against individuals and law firms that file and prosecute frivolous actions.
The two founding partners at Vivoli Saccuzzo, LLP started their legal careers representing insurance companies and their insureds in the defense of personal injury claims.

We represent both employees and employers in all aspects of employer-employee relationships, including general human resources matters, wage and hour litigation, employment contracts, covenants not to compete, trade secret litigation, and employment-related torts.
The attorneys at Vivoli Saccuzzo, LLP have briefed and argued numerous appeals and writs in California State and federal courts, resulting in multiple published opinions.
