Lachtman Cohen & Belowich Expands with New Los Angeles Office
We are proud to announce the opening of our newest office in Los Angeles, California, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s continued growth. Located in the heart of Brentwood, one of Los Angeles’s most vibrant and sought-after neighborhoods, the new office places us at the center of a community known for its blend of business, culture, and connectivity.
We are especially excited to launch the office with the addition of Gary Gorham as a partner. Gary practices in the areas of complex commercial and entertainment and sports litigation and brings a wealth of experience and a strong reputation in high-stakes disputes. We have had the pleasure of working closely with Gary for several years and are thrilled to formally welcome him to the firm.
Throughout his career, Gary has represented clients in matters involving entertainment and sports litigation, intellectual property disputes, corporate governance and derivative actions, employment and contract disputes, and business torts. In addition to his exceptional legal acumen, Gary brings a deep alignment with the collaborative spirit, high standards, and client-first mindset that define our firm’s culture. His values and leadership will be integral to our presence in Los Angeles.
Gary’s track record includes his successful defense of International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee and world champion boxer Manny Pacquiao, who shared the following about Gary:
“I’ve worked with top trainers, managers, and promoters throughout my career, and I know what excellence looks like. Gary Gorham is the best of the best in the legal world. When I was sued, I needed someone not just with knowledge, but with skill, poise under pressure, and a game plan. Gary brought all of that and more. His courtroom presence was powerful. The strategy was sharp. The result spoke for itself. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Gary to anyone who needs a serious advocate in their corner.”
The opening of the Los Angeles office is a natural extension of New York-based partner Greg Blue’s rapidly growing California litigation practice, which has created increased demand for on-the-ground support and a deeper bench of attorneys. Greg’s longstanding work with clients across California has been a driving force behind our expansion.
“I’m excited to officially join Lachtman Cohen & Belowich and help launch the Los Angeles office,” said Gary Gorham. “Having worked closely with the firm’s partners for many years, I’ve long admired its exceptional talent, unwavering client commitment, and uniquely collaborative culture. I’m looking forward to expanding the firm’s reach in California and continuing to deliver the high-level counsel and results our clients expect.”
In addition, with several core clients headquartered in or maintaining significant operations in California, we are pleased to now offer counsel from attorneys who are deeply connected to the region’s legal, business, and cultural communities.
“Establishing a presence in Los Angeles marks an exciting chapter in the firm’s continued growth,” said Co-Managing Partners David Lachtman, Brian Cohen, and Brian Belowich. “With Gary leading the office and Greg’s practice continuing to expand across California, we’re strengthening our ability to serve clients in one of the country’s most important legal markets and adding proven expertise in the entertainment and sports industries, where Gary has built a standout reputation.”
