We are pleased to announce that Allen Matkins partner Scott J. Leipzig has been named to the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2020 "Leaders of Influence: Litigators & Trial Lawyers" list. This prestigious list profiles L.A.'s top trial lawyers, and the firm is quite pleased that the LABJ has recognized Scott for his amazing trial record. Scott has a reputation for embracing (and winning) any case, no matter the difficulty, and for welcoming the challenge of complex trials against any adversary. Scott is passionate about his cases and his clients and has developed lifelong bonds with the many clients with whom he has gone to trial.
Scott is a partner in the Allen Matkins Century City office and is a go-to lawyer for the firm's most hotly contested and difficult litigation matters. Most recently, he and his team obtained a full defense verdict for Citizen Systems Japan and Citizen Systems America, which the Daily Journal recognized as one of the most significant verdicts of 2019. In that matter, Scott and his team successfully defended their clients, manufacturers and sellers of printer components used for "Ziosk" point-of-sale devices, against allegations that their printer products caused nearly $200 million in damages to touch screen ordering devices manufactured and sold by the plaintiff.
Scott's other trials and arbitrations have included representing major telecommunications companies in network real estate matters; representing financial institutions, mortgage companies, and real estate businesses in a wide range of real estate and consumer finance disputes; handling complex entertainment industry disputes; resolving complex franchise matters on behalf of substantial franchisors and franchisees; litigating complex product warranty claims; and trying complex insurance disputes.
Scott loves the art of trying cases to juries and has done so year after year with an amazing record of success.
