EL SEGUNDO, CA (November 14, 2017)— Adishian Law Group is pleased to announce that Adishian Law Group, P.C. and Adishian Capital were profiled in the current issue of Southbay Magazine.

Southbay Magazine (November 2017)

As the magazine states, “Adishian Law Group practices business, employment and real estate law. The firm leads mission-critical transactions and litigation, with a focus on high-stakes employment cases involving highly compensated professionals. Adishian Capital is a licensed real estate brokerage that provides property management services and select brokerage services. Owner Chris Adishian earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematical economics at Berkeley and law degree from Loyola Law School.”

What’s most rewarding about your work?

“Our clients inspire us—they’re proven leaders in their industries and professions, and we’re privileged to work on their behalf.”

What can our readers learn from your most successful clients?

“They are committed to improving their decision-making process in business and life. They understand that the two great equalizers are: (1) time and (2) decisions. Over time, the compounded result of good decisions (and avoiding the compounded result of bad decisions) dwarfs any legal fees. Quite often the best decision is to ‘not do’ something. Making that decision is just as important as the decision to ‘do’ something.”

What is the most valuable skill you offer clients?

“My individual core skill set is along the lines of an ‘expert generalist’. When we look at a challenge or opportunity, we bring the legal expertise. That’s foundational. Along with our legal advice, we bring deep knowledge and multidisciplinary experience, which come together to inform the client’s business or litigation strategy and execution.”

What is unique about how your two firms work together?

“For clients active in real estate—owning, buying, selling, leasing or exchanging—our combination of a real estate law firm with an affiliated property management firm is unique. We can deliver tremendous value and provide relationship continuity.”

What are the last three books that you’ve read?

“Other than children’s books for my kids (laughing), ‘The Undoing Project’, ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ and ‘Business Adventures’. I frequently reference Warren Buffett’s ‘Owner’s Manual.’”

EL SEGUNDO, CA (October 2015)— Adishian Law Group is pleased to announce that attorney Chris Adishian was profiled in the current issue of Chadwick School’s COMPASS Magazine.

Read the full text of the article below, or here for the full-color original.

CHRISTOPHER ADISHIAN ’87

Like many Chadwick alumni, Chris Adishian ’87 vividly recalls outdoor education. He went rock climbing at Joshua Tree National Park, made two weeklong camping trips along the Colorado River, camped and hiked on Catalina Island, and participated in a “home and away” exchange with a private school in Connecticut.

“These are just tremendous learning experiences for young students that stay with them for a lifetime,” Adishian says. “I still remember mine over 30 years later.”

But more than just for the fun of being outdoors, Adishian appreciates Chadwick’s outdoor education program for what it brings to each student’s sense of being.

“Chadwick’s commitment to educating the whole child is rare,” he says. “I believe it helps each child discover and develop his or her confidence, perspective, abilities, interests and potential.”

As a student, says Adishian, he “seemed to be always playing sports either during or after school.” He rowed during his freshman year at the University of California at Berkeley, and still takes yoga and martial arts classes every week. His other exercise, he says, comes from wrestling with his two children, Mark (4) and Talar (2). Adishian resides in Hawthorne with his wife Lena, and their children.

“My hope is that I can contribute my skills to help Chadwick achieve its short- and long-term goals…”

For Adishian, time out for fun and family can be hard to find. He balances his workdays between his legal practice, where he focuses on business, real estate and employment law (he earned his J.D. from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles), and his real-estate firm, where he manages approximately $33 million in residential and commercial property and makes good use of his B.A. in Mathematical Economics from UC Berkeley.

As busy as he is, Adishian suddenly felt like a man with time on his hands when Chadwick approached him about a trusteeship.

“Chadwick was such a positive, growing experience for me in so many ways,” he says. “When I was asked to join the board, it seemed like the natural thing to do.”

As an experienced world traveler, he admires the school’s global perspective, especially the opening of the campus in Songdo, Korea. “When I first heard about Chadwick International,” he says, “my first thought was, ‘That is simply brilliant!’ What a visionary idea.”

Now it’s his turn to help form the vision for Chadwick’s future. “My hope,” he says, “is that I can contribute my skills to help Chadwick achieve its short- and long-term goals so the school can continue to fulfill its mission for the students at Chadwick School and Chadwick International.”

EL SEGUNDO, CA (July 2014)— Adishian Law Group is pleased to announce that attorney Chris Adishian was profiled in the current issue of South Bay Magazine.

As the magazine states, “Behind every successful individual and company, you’ll likely find a trusted advisor-or a team of them. Professional experts inform you about your options, help you explore new ideas and discover solutions, and work with you to navigate the road ahead. It’s essential to select a proficient team of trusted advisors when making decisions that impact you, your business, your home and your family. The South Bay specialists on the following pages have expertise in a variety of fields. They are known for innovative solutions and top-notch client care … and they are who our readers tum to when making important life decisions.

“Adishian Law Group practices corporate, real estate and employment law. Their work includes leading mission-critical transactions and litigation, and employment cases involving highly compensated professionals and executives often with significant equity. Owner Chris Adishian, raised in Palos Verdes, started the firm in 2003, after working at Arthur Andersen and investment bank Montgomery Securities in San Francisco.”

Tell us something unique about your business.

“Our business and real estate clients benefit by having a legal team that is equally comfortable with legal briefs and complex financial models. Through our affiliated property management firm, Adishian Capital, we provide ‘family office’ real estate capabilities, giving our clients relationship continuity across all their real estate activities. In our employment practice, we represent both plaintiffs and defendants. We believe this dual experience saves our clients time and money in preventing litigation as well as litigating, valuing and resolving claims. In all areas, clients appreciate our communication and follow-through.”

Why does your industry appeal to you?

“The practice of law is ultimately a ‘helping’ profession. We exist to apply our skills and abilities to help our clients achieve goals and results that they could not achieve on their own. That is fulfilling.”

How do you give back to your community?

“Recently I was appointed as a Trustee to the governing body of Chadwick School and Chadwick International. It is part of our firm mission to contribute pro-bono services and make monetary donations to a diverse set of organizations.”

How does a client start a relationship with your firm?

“The attorney-client relationship is very important. After an initial inquiry or referral, we like to have an in-person meeting or conference call to listen to the prospective client’s needs. If we believe our skills will help the client and there is a shared sense of goals and expectations, we will proceed with an engagement.”

Give us a great piece of advice on how we can protect ourselves and our families.

“Be a good person. Treat people with respect. Do what you say you are going to do. Don’t take what is not yours. Buy insurance. Establish a relationship with an excellent, trusted attorney.”
