Building Bridges for a Better Future

San Francisco Bay Area Construction and Business Law Counselors and Trial Attorneys

The lawyers at Akay & Associates provide knowledgeable and dependable client-oriented service to businesses in many industries throughout California and around the world. Founded 20 years ago by AV-rated* attorney Douglas Akay, the firm enjoys an excellent reputation in such practice areas as business law, commercial real estate and general business counseling.

The backbone of our San Francisco Bay Area practice rests with our work in construction litigation. In addition, we handle business law problems ranging from initial formation and counseling to complex business litigation.

For smaller businesses, our versatility and wide experience in contract law allows us to serve as your general counsel on the full range of problems and opportunities you may encounter on a daily basis. For larger corporations, we provide flexible and responsive services as local counsel or as trial counsel on specific engagements. Contact us in San Francisco to learn more about the range of our business law experience.

International Business and Trade

A growing portion of our work involves international business and trade. We are equally skilled with representing the interests of overseas companies in American markets and with helping United States companies do business abroad. Associate Attorney Harjit Sull has fostered a special interest in overseas trade between South Asian firms, their American subsidiaries and California enterprises of all sizes due to her extensive contacts in the East Indian community in the United States and abroad.

Civil Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Whether asserting or defending claims in court or arbitration, our firm has always demonstrated an ability to extract from a dry or technical documentary record the compelling story of your case that can resonate in human terms for the judge and jury. The merits of your case will be overlooked if a jury can't understand them; our unique ability for mastering and presenting complex evidence in clear, coherent and persuasive terms demonstrates a major advantage for our clients.
