Overview

Many things about Los Angeles might surprise you, including the fact that it’s the only city in North America to have hosted the Summer Olympics twice—with a third time on the way in 2028; it’s home to the world’s shortest railway, Angels Flight, measuring just 298 feet; and the city’s iconic palm trees, while synonymous with LA, aren’t even native. While Los Angeles is a global hub for entertainment, culture, and innovation, WSHB’s Los Angeles team considers it home—now with a new office located just steps from the world-famous Santa Monica Pier.

WSHB first opened its doors in Downtown Los Angeles in 1997 before relocating to Westwood in 2005, where it grew into one of the firm’s largest and most active offices. Beginning in late 2025, the firm proudly established its new headquarters in Santa Monica, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. From this dynamic location, the Los Angeles office handles a wide range of matters, including construction, environmental, employment, transportation, cyber, medical malpractice, and public entity work—among the many diverse practices of our attorneys.
