How We Work
Straight Talk, Hard Work, Responsive Communication
Most of our clients have never been sued, or never had to sue anyone, before their case landed on our desk. We start every matter the same way: a direct conversation about what happened, what you’re exposed to, and what it will realistically cost to fight or resolve. From there, we assess the strengths and weaknesses of your position honestly — including the parts you may not want to hear — and build a strategy around your business goals, not just the lawsuit in front of you. You’ll hear from us when something changes, not just when we bill.

Received
A Proposition 65 60-Day
Notice?
Proposition 65 Leadership
If you’ve received a Proposition 65 60-day notice, you’re already on the clock. These notices allege that a product sold in California exposes consumers to a listed chemical without the warning the law requires — and they can lead to significant statutory penalties if mishandled. Cadden & Fuller LLP has built one of Orange County’s deepest Proposition 65 practices, defending manufacturers, distributors, and retailers against these claims for years. We know how the serial-notice plaintiffs’ bar operates, what a defensible warning looks like, and when a case should settle versus fight.
If a notice has landed on your desk, the worst move is waiting — early strategy decisions in a Prop 65 matter often determine the outcome. Contact us before your response window closes.

What We Do
Our Practice Areas
Cadden & Fuller LLP concentrates on business litigation for California companies — disputes between partners and shareholders, breach of contract claims, and the kind of high-stakes disagreements that put a business’s future on the line. Two areas define our practice today. We are among Orange County’s most experienced firms handling Proposition 65 notices and litigation, defending businesses against claims tied to chemical exposure warnings.
We also litigate trademark and trade secret disputes, protecting the intellectual property that gives a business its edge, and we handle ADA access claims that increasingly target small and mid-size companies. Beyond these focus areas, we represent businesses throughout Orange County — Irvine, Newport Beach, Santa Ana, and Huntington Beach — in commercial litigation matters. If your business is facing a legal fight, we can tell you quickly whether it’s one we should be having.
who we help
Business disputes are stressful —
we make them manageable
Whether you’re the business being sued or the business that’s been wronged, a lawsuit can feel like it’s consuming everything — your time, your team’s focus, your peace of mind. Cadden & Fuller LLP represents small and mid-size California businesses through exactly these moments. We work with owners and executives who need a clear-eyed read on their exposure, a strategy that fits their budget and risk tolerance, and an attorney who picks up the phone.
You don’t need to become an expert in litigation. You need someone who already is — and who will tell you, plainly, what happens next.
When Someone Takes
Your Trademark Or Trade Secret
A competitor copying your brand, or a former employee walking out with your client list or formulas — these fights move fast, and how you respond in the first weeks often decides the outcome.
Cadden & Fuller LLP litigates trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation claims for California businesses, and handles the ADA access disputes that frequently accompany intellectual property fights for retail and hospitality clients. We pursue injunctions, damages, and negotiated resolutions built around what actually protects your business.
