LA JOLLA, CALIF. – After more than three decades practicing business litigation, Charles T. Hoge has launched Hoge Law Firm in downtown La Jolla. Hoge, a 20-year La Jolla resident, will continue working with clients on partnership, real estate, employment, intellectual property, unfair competition, trade secret and professional liability matters.

“We solve problems,” said Hoge. “At Hoge Law Firm, our goal is to work collaboratively and thoughtfully with our clients to help them achieve the best possible solution for their legal problems.”

Hoge Law Firm specializes in high stakes business litigation, often called “Bet the Company” cases, in which an organization’s existence may be at stake. Hoge takes pride in achieving practical, creative and cost-effective solutions to complex business disputes for his clients. Officially opening its doors in July 2016, Hoge Law Firm has already earned a place on U.S. News & World Report’s 2017 “Best Law Firms” Tier 1 list for commercial litigation.

Most recently, Hoge was named to the 2017 Super Lawyers list, an honor he has received every year since 2007. He was also recognized on the 2017 Best Lawyers list for commercial litigation and employment law – management.

The firm works with both plaintiff and defendants, and represents large companies and organizations, as well as “mom-and-pop” shops and individuals. Focus industries include biotechnology, real estate/ construction, consumer products, sports and technology companies.

The firm has expanded its practice to include guiding employees and business principals to lawfully and strategically navigate their way out of a current business into a competing business. Hoge said, “There are a lot of options available, and I want to help my clients find solutions that work well for them.”

Prior to opening the new firm, Hoge served as managing partner for San Diego’s Kirby Noonan Lance & Hoge. He joined the firm in 1988 and was the managing partner for 14 years, while maintaining a full-time litigation practice. Under his tenure, KNL&H was honored by U.S. News-Best Lawyers as one of “America’s Best Law Firms” and by Martindale-Hubbell as one of the “Top Ranked Law Firms” in the U.S., received by less than one percent of U.S. law firms. Hoge will continue to collaborate with former KNL&H attorneys, as needed, to meet the needs of his clientele.

Hoge Law Firm is the International Network of Boutique Law Firms’ business litigation specialist for the San Diego Chapter. Hoge is also a fellow of Litigation Counsel of America, a highly selective trial lawyer society composed of less than half of one percent of American lawyers.

Hoge Law Firm is located at 888 Prospect Street Suite 200, La Jolla, California. For more information, visit www.hogelaw.com or call 619-823-2600.
