Mr. Gunner is the managing partner of the firm. With more than 38 years of business and legal experience, he is perfectly positioned to manage a prestigious law firm and service sophisticated clients that require a combination of business and legal expertise.

Arlen’s practice is transactional focusing on business, commercial and corporate law; mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations; acquisition and sale of real and personal property; real estate development and finance; leases and leasehold financings of all types; and nonprofit law and board governance. He has acted and is available to act as an expert witness in matters involving non-profit entities and secured transactions.

Arlen was named a 2009 “Super Lawyer” in the area of real estate by Law and Politics Magazine and the publishers of Los Angeles Magazine.
