Business Law Lawyers in Marin County, California

Every business lawyer and business attorney listing on this page traces back to the State Bar of California's official roll, filtered to business law matters arising in Marin County. Verification describes profile identity, not quality or outcomes.

Venue matters. Business law cases from Marin County are ordinarily heard at the Superior Court of California, County of Marin. The county just north of the Golden Gate; its superior court sits in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, and trust, estate, and real property matters run heavy in its civil docket.

Deadlines shape these cases before merits do · four years to sue on a written contract; two years on an oral contract (§ 339) (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 337). Fraud claims run three years from discovery (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 338(d)); unfair competition claims under Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 run four years (§ 17208). Contractual limitation clauses can shorten these periods.
