Arias Sanguinetti Wang & Team

What Arias Sanguinetti Wang & Team does

Arias Sanguinetti Wang & Team, LLP is a privately held plaintiff-side trial law firm headquartered in Los Angeles with additional offices in Walnut Creek (Bay Area), Las Vegas, and Montreal, Canada. The firm specializes in complex litigation including class actions, mass torts, personal injury, sexual abuse claims, employment law, civil rights, elder abuse, medical malpractice, and consumer protection, representing individual survivors and plaintiff classes against institutional defendants such as universities, hospitals, government entities, and corporations. Its practice has produced some of the largest known U.S. sexual abuse settlements, including a $852 million USC Tyndall case settlement (2021), an $828 million LA County juvenile detention and foster care settlement (2022), and a $243 million UCLA Heaps settlement (2023), with cumulative client recoveries exceeding $2 billion.

The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis: clients pay no consultation fee and owe nothing if the case is not won, with the firm recovering a percentage of settlements and verdicts. Its technology posture is non-existent in a productized sense — no proprietary software, AI, or platforms are described — and value is delivered through trial-ready attorney labor, a national referral and co-counsel network, and multilingual service (Spanish, French, Russian, Farsi, Chinese). Founders Mike Arias (Managing Partner) and Elise R. Sanguinetti have held presidencies of the American Association for Justice, Consumer Attorneys of California, and Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, reinforcing the firm's standing within the national plaintiffs' bar.
