Stris & Maher LLP
Based in Los Angeles, Stris & Maher LLP is an award-winning litigation boutique with a nationwide practice. The firm litigates a wide range of major business disputes — often to verdict or judgment. Described as “a go-to for high-stakes trials,” the firm actively recruits diverse staff and attorneys and works to create policies to retain diverse hires, with the understanding that a multitude of backgrounds and voices will improve the firm and reflect its clients’ commitment to a diverse workforce.
Stris & Maher also encourages its team members to devote hundreds of hours annually to high-impact pro bono initiatives that promote and enhance diversity. For example, the firm represented Planned Parenthood in a pro bono constitutional challenge to the Idaho Attorney General’s attempt to criminalize out-of-state abortion referrals. After securing a permanent injunction at the district court level, the case is now on appeal to the Ninth Circuit. The ACLU has called the ruling “a crucial victory for patients and providers nationwide.”
Stris & Maher offers a robust work-life balance program that prioritizes flexibility and well-being. Attorneys are rarely expected to work nights or weekends, and the firm regularly accommodates personal commitments (including religious observance) when scheduling.
