John C. Kang

Gordinier Kang & Kim LLP (“GKK”) is a premier boutique business law firm with offices in Los Angeles and Orange County, California. Our goal is to provide the highest caliber legal services in an efficient and comfortable boutique setting to provide better value for our clients. GKK has recruited top lawyers in their respective practices who were formerly partners and associates at international and national, highly respected law firms and/or as corporate counsel at large private companies.

At our firm, you get “big firm” talent and quality work product, coupled with the more personalized service and responsiveness of a smaller firm. We have the flexibility to efficiently handle matters of all sizes, and the business knowledge and trial experience to handle the most complex and important cases.

Our experience advising on legal issues affecting businesses of all shapes and sizes across a wide array of industries helps us provide a broader perspective on key decisions that matter to our clients. Whether you are an entrepreneur starting a new business, a real estate investor wanting responsive advice, a mid-sized company in the midst of contentious litigation or a public company with a shareholder dispute, we have a proactive and efficient approach to ensure your success.

In every matter we take in, we collaborate so each client gets the best thinking our entire firm has to offer. We assemble teams of the most skilled attorneys, at every level of experience, to develop a winning strategy.

We understand the financial pressures our clients face when they are seeking legal advice. Accordingly, we develop a fee structure with each client upfront, based on the demands of the particular case. This fee approach thoughtfully aligns us and our clients.
