How we help you

Experience that understands
what’s at stake.

Since 1991, Narayan Travelstead Ku and its predecessor firm, Narayan Law Firm, have represented clients in state and federal courts, administrative proceedings, and arbitration.

We focus on employment and business law for businesses of all sizes, working directly with business owners and through insurance companies providing Employment Practices Liability Insurance.

Our team brings decades of trial, summary judgment, and appellate experience to effective, efficient representation.

Meet the attorneys behind our work
The things we remember every day

Your priorities shape
our representation.

A professional relationship built on respect, preparation, and straightforward communication.

“We fight as hard for you as if it were our own reputation on the line.”

We work to earn your trust, keep you informed, and help you make sound decisions about your case.

01We know it’s a big deal.

We know that we do this every day, but you don’t. We know that your livelihood is on the line. That’s why we never stop thinking about how to best represent your business, your reputation and your bottom line.

02We will never talk down to you.

We know that your business is just as important as ours. We know you have as much expertise in what you do as we have in our business. We treat you like professionals – because you are.

03We are here for you in good times and bad.

We want to help you avoid litigation altogether. Because we know that the best case is the one that never happens. We provide on-site training of your managers so that they stay in compliance with the complex California employment laws.

04You deserve credit for doing the right thing.

If you should face a lawsuit after you’ve paid us to train your staff, the entire cost of that training will automatically be applied as a credit to any litigation costs we charge. You’ll never pay us twice.

05You’ll get a legal budget that gives you the full picture.

If you should face a legal challenge, the first thing we’ll do is provide a free consultation to understand your situation. And then we’ll put together a comprehensive budget for you to review and approve.

06You don’t have just one lawyer thinking about your case, you have a whole team.

We have staff strategy sessions each week, at no cost to you, in order to brainstorm the most effective legal strategy for your case. We don’t want you to rely on just one attorney’s expertise, when you can benefit from the whole team’s combined experience.

07You’ll never have to chase us for an answer.

We are responsive, upfront, honest about your case, and we will always keep you in the loop.

08We learn about the other side.

We anticipate their actions, and do what we can to stay one step ahead. Let us handle the worry and the hassle. You have a business to run.

09We leave no stone unturned.

We are ethical and at the same time, we will pursue every legal avenue open to us. We fight as hard for you as if it were our own reputation on the line – because it is.

Throughout California
