Overview
+

Briana Richmond has developed a diverse practice that touches on a wide variety of industries, including complex business disputes involving trade secret theft, fraud, breach of contract, business interference, business dissolution, defamation claims, as well as disputes involving commercial landlord-tenant contracts, commercial construction contracts, and residential construction defects, among other things.

Since joining Rutan, Briana has had the opportunity to take several cases to trial, all of which ended with judgments in her clients’ favor.  While she is well-versed in aggressively litigating cases when such an approach is appropriate, Briana also actively seeks to balance litigation demands with clients’ overall business concerns, including with respect to cost control and maintaining business relationships.  Briana’s dedication to professional excellence has led to Best Lawyers in America recognizing her as one of the “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch” for 2021 and 2022.
