Practice
How can we help?
Ollawa Law works with individuals, entrepreneurs, small and medium businesses and brands across five practice areas — from a single contract review to a full estate plan.
Entertainment
Deals for artists, producers, writers, directors and the companies that back them — negotiated and drafted, not downloaded.
Entertainment attorneys at Ollawa Law give small and large businesses the legal tools to operate effectively in the entertainment industry. We negotiate and draft across music, film, television and brand work — from a single-song split sheet to a multi-picture production deal.

Business Law
Entity formation and the agreements that hold a company together, from first filing to the paperwork nobody wants to read.
The firm advises clients on the business and personal decisions behind their legal affairs — start-up budget review, compliance research, and operational resourcing. We form the entity and then keep it maintained.

Trusts, wills and directives — so the people you leave behind inherit a plan instead of a court date.
Our California estate planning attorneys work closely with clients to develop personalised plans. We draft living trusts, last wills and supporting documents, and advise on probate filings. Whatever your age, health or goals, we will give you the advice you need to make the right plan.

Special Education Due Process
OAH due process claims for parents and guardians when a school district has failed a student with disabilities.
Due process claims require specific documentation and a clear demonstration of how a school’s actions or omissions have impacted a student’s right to an appropriate education under federal and state law. We work closely with parents and guardians to build that record.
