CARRICK & CONRAD, A PLC, is an AV-rated civil litigation law firm serving a significant portion of Southern California. The firm’s principal office is located adjacent to Los Angeles International Airport, equidistant and equally accessible to Santa Barbara, Palm Springs and San Diego. All points within that arc are easily accessible from the firm’s primary office. Orange County is within that geographical sweep, and its courthouse is more convenient and faster to get to than the primary Los Angeles one. The firm’s principals are Timothy J. Carrick and Donald R. Conrad.
CARRICK & CONRAD's practice areas – areas of experience and expertise – fall into three broad categories. The three are general counsel, liability defense and client rights advocacy, or protecting the rights of and prosecuting the claims of our clients. The three areas interact and buttress each other.
The firm provides smaller-scale businesses -- those without in-house general counsel or legal staffs -- with expert counsel in contract interpretation, negotiation and drafting; statutory provisions, insurance; banking; risk transfer; employment and human resource issues. You can avoid risk (or at least understand, control and price out the risk that remains), negotiate and document fair indemnity clauses and acquire and understand appropriate insurance coverage, and you can do it with a direct and personal relationship with your lawyer.
CARRICK & CONRAD’s two-decades of experience and success provides modest-sized businesses in the building industry the same sophisticated expertise that their national competitors use at much higher costs. You can have better access to expertise and novel solutions on issues like indemnity, coverage, SIR’s, exclusions, wraps, and statutory obligations than the large developers. You deserve a relationship where you can pick up your phone and discuss a problem as it is occurring. Put CARRICK & CONRAD on your speed dial.
CARRICK & CONRAD gives you involved, experienced partner-level lawyers who try cases and still want to be involved in their clients day-to-day problems. The principals’ experience allows them to address the subtleties that only seasoned trial attorneys recognize. They provide practical, hands-on knowledge that comes from being on the front lines of litigation, including courtroom experience in front of juries.
Although CARRICK & CONRAD is a litigation firm, its lawyers try to keep their clients OUT of court. If you can avoid litigation, you should. If you cannot, we develop and execute a plan to put you in the best position you can attain. Part of that is an assessment of the costs. Our goal is to always get you out of court as soon as possible if we can’t keep you out from the start.
