Farella Braun + Martel represents clients throughout the United States and abroad in sophisticated business transactions and high-stakes commercial, civil and criminal litigation. We are known for our imaginative legal solutions and the dynamism and intellectual creativity of our lawyers. The attorneys in each practice group work cohesively in interdisciplinary teams to advance the clients' objectives in the most effective, coordinated and efficient manner. Founded in 1962, we are headquartered in San Francisco and maintain an office in the Napa Valley that is focused on the wine industry.
Through the firm's wine country office, Farella Braun + Martel's wine attorneys handle all aspects of industry-related work in wine country areas such as Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake Counties, and the Central Valley. Some of the firm's members are growers and winery owners, and as such Farella Braun + Martel understands the unique business and legal issues inherent to the wine industry. We represent over 100 domestic and international wineries, grape growers, distributors and other industry-related businesses. Our attorneys work closely with companies and family-owned businesses on a variety of matters including contracts, real estate transactions, environmental and land use concerns, complex business transactions, compliance with industry regulations and laws, litigation, insurance coverage, intellectual property and brand protection, employment and tax. We also provide advice to executives and owners of wineries and agribusiness concerns related to wealth and estate planning and business succession.
