Neema Ghannadi is a member of Stroock's corporate and entertainment groups. His practice focuses on general corporate, mergers and acquisitions, and securities matters. Mr. Ghannadi also advises clients on the operation of investment adviser businesses and provides on-going regulatory advice related to these entities.

My practice includes general corporate law, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions and securities law. I've worked with clients in the tech, manufacturing, banking and life sciences industries.

My practice focuses primarily in the areas of high technology, biotechnology, entertainment and real estate.

My practice focuses on management-side labor and employment law and complex business litigation. I have significant experience representing employers in all aspects of labor and employment law, with a focus on employment discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, and wage and hour claims. I also routinely advise employers on personnel issues, including developing and revising workplace policies and handbooks and the hiring, discipline, and termination of employees. I also have extensive experience in complex business and commercial litigation, successfully representing and defending clients at during all phases of litigated matters. I have represented clients in a wide variety of cases, including fraud, trade secret, breach of contract, product liability, professional liability, consumer protection, environmental, and constitutional matters; ranging from single-plaintiff and single-defendant cases to class actions.

My main focus is to bring the knowledge and know-how when it comes to Personal Injury and Probate Law. I understand how delicate it can be dealing with an injury or death and that is why I believe in having a completely open-door policy. From providing assistance from the time of injury, to dealing with body shops and insurance carriers all the way to filing a lawsuit, litigating and recieving maximum compensation.. I was born in Long Island, New York and raised in Los Angeles, California. Before attending law school, I attended the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and completed a bachelor's degree in History. I then attended Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles where I received my Juris Doctor. I then fell in love with helping others in aspects of their lives when they feel they are in a place of discomfort and uncharted waters.. With this understanding in mind I see that a settlement from an insurance company or inheritance from a loves one is only the first step, I have taken an extra step in assisting by receiving many financial licenses ranging from Life and Health insurance license to various Securities Licenses such as the Uniform Securities Agent State Law license, the Uniform Investment Adviser Law license and the Investment Company & Variable Contracts Products Representative license (Also Known as: Series 6, 63 and 65).

My goal is to be your trusted advisor who helps you make the very best personal, financial, legal, and business decisions for your family and your business throughout your lifetime. I want to help you and your business not just now, but also when you can’t be there so that I can help guide your loved ones and colleagues through a difficult process.

My firm represents claimants against major corporations in complex pharmaceutical products liability cases. We are active in class action, federal maritime, and federal multidistrict litigation nationwide. We also handle chemical exposure and environment pollution cases as well as sex abuse and child molestation cases against the catholic church.

My clients didn’t do anything wrong. They worked hard and supported their families, but they’re punished for that by being afflicted with a terrible disease. Mesothelioma, asbestos cancers – these are horrific conditions. They did nothing to deserve this. Yet they suffer, because irresponsible corporations put profits first and people’s health last. I am very grateful to be able to help these victims start rebuilding their shattered lives.. Many Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys – like Aaron J. Sussman, an associate in our Mesothelioma and Asbestos Litigation group – come to us after very successful careers working for or as district attorneys. We find that former prosecutors have a special knack for obtaining justice from the types of wrongdoers so often in our crosshairs.. Mr. Sussman joined Weitz & Luxenberg in 2015 at the conclusion of his service to the County of Santa Barbara, California, in the role of deputy district attorney. As a prosecutor, he took felony cases to trial and built a reputation as a highly motivated crimebuster – just ask any of the white-collar lawbreakers he put away for fraud, theft and worse. So knowledgeable was he about the tricks defendants play in order to avoid facing up to the debts they owe society that he became a key resource to investigators, fellow prosecutors and concerned citizens interested in acquiring training and special insights about combating crime.. Before that, Mr. Sussman was an associate attorney with the Los Angeles law firm of Gordon, Edelstein, Krepack, Grant, Felton & Goldstein. Mr. Sussman’s contributions to his team resulted in substantial awards and settlements for the firm’s clients.. In particular, the firm found him indispensible as the writer of its memoranda and motions, the documents that judges rely on in court to help them reach decisions in the course of trial. Mr. Sussman also honed his writing skills – as well as his skills as a researcher of the laws – by serving as research assistant and writing partner to two nationally-renowned legal scholars: America’s most widely read and influential legal commentator Professor Jeffrey Rosen, who serves as President of the National Constitution Center, and frequent race-and-crime commentator Professor Paul Butler, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney who specialized in public corruption. He also completed a criminal case-management internship in the chambers of the Hon. Florence Y. Pan, who, at the time, was newly appointed to the federal bench in the District of Columbia. For Mr. Sussman, this followed a legal-research internship with the advocacy group Just Detention International, also in the District of Columbia.. Those internships occurred during Mr. Sussman’s years at The George Washington University Law School, from which he graduated in 2011 with a juris doctor degree. Ranked in the Top 10 Percent of his class, Mr. Sussman was a member of the George Washington Law Review and the school’s Moot Court and Mock Trial boards. He won the Justice Thurgood Marshall Civil Liberties Award and, in the Spring 2009 Mock Trial Competition, his moot-court team was declared best among those on the prosecution side. At the University of California, Irvine, where Mr. Sussman double-majored in theater and criminology, law, and society, he was a four-time Dean’s List honoree who completed the four-year academic program in three. He graduated in 2005.
