About Novian & Novian, LLP
A Los Angeles firm that has been doing this since 1988
We are a full-service law firm in Century City. Our attorneys handle business disputes, injury claims and the day-to-day legal work that companies and families in California need done properly.
Who we are
Novian & Novian opened in Los Angeles in 1988 and has been serving clients across the country ever since. The firm is led by managing partner Farhad Novian.
We are full-service by design. A company that comes to us over a contract dispute often stays for the employment question that follows, the lease, the trademark, the acquisition. The value, clients tell us, is in explaining the business once.
That breadth also means an injured person and a healthcare group can both be represented properly under the same roof. The work looks different; the standard behind it does not.
Our operating principle has not moved in more than thirty-five years: what the client needs comes first. Where a matter is difficult, we say so at the outset rather than after the engagement.
Recognized and listed
Where we started, and where we are
The firm opened in Los Angeles in 1988 and has stayed in the same city since. Farhad Novian was admitted to the California Bar in 1985, Farid Novian in 1984. The office is at 1801 Century Park East, in Century City, with attorneys in Santa Ana for matters in Orange County.
How we work
Three things clients notice about us, and they are the three we work hardest to keep true.
We tell you where you stand
You get our honest read of the matter at the start, including the parts that are not in your favor. A plan built on optimism fails at the moment it matters most.
The attorney you meet is the attorney who works the file
A matter is not passed to a different attorney once the engagement is signed. The person who took your first call stays with the case.
We prepare as though it is going to trial
Most disputes settle. The ones that settle well are the ones the other side can see were being prepared properly from the beginning.
What we handle
Eleven practice groups, one firm. Matters that cross more than one of them are common.
