Theodora Oringher

What Theodora Oringher does

Theodora Oringher PC is a privately held California litigation boutique law firm with offices in Costa Mesa (Orange County headquarters, 535 Anton Boulevard, Suite 900) and Los Angeles (Century City, 1840 Century Park East, Suite 500), employing 101–250 total personnel and approximately 60–64 attorneys across the two locations (LA office ~28 attorneys; OC office ~36 attorneys). Founded in 1991, the firm describes itself as a 'nationally known law firm, ranked by the Wall Street Journal and other publications, as being Best in Class and Top Tier in California,' and is recognized in the Chambers and Partners California Spotlight Ranking 2025. Its practice spans 19 areas with Business and Commercial Litigation positioned as the centerpiece, alongside preeminent Construction Law, Real Estate Litigation, Antitrust/Trade Secrets/Unfair Competition, Appellate, Bankruptcy/Restructuring, Healthcare, Corporate and Transactional, Securities, Sports and Entertainment, Product Liability, Toxic Tort/Environmental, Labor and Employment, Class Actions, Consumer Financial Services Litigation, Opioid Litigation, Insurance Litigation and Recovery, and Intellectual Property Litigation.

The firm's revenue model is professional-services billing through flexible hourly, fixed-fee, and alternative-fee arrangements priced by matter complexity and client requirements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is reputation-driven: senior attorneys and managing partner-led direct engagement, peer referral from nationally prominent law firms positioning the firm as 'lawyers' lawyers,' and industry recognition (Best Lawyers in America, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, Southern California Super Lawyers, Best Law Firms, American Antitrust Institute 2025 Antitrust Enforcement Award) functioning as top-of-funnel credibility markers. Client base spans Fortune 500 and large corporations (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the $370M+ Anaheim dispute; Innovative Health LLC in the $442M trebled antitrust verdict against Biosense Webster; Bedrosians Tile and Stone in the silicosis defense verdict against a $200M claim), government and public entities (Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County; Orange County District Attorney's Office), and high-net-worth individuals (a world-renowned plastic surgeon in the 2021 $100M breach of contract judgment).

The firm operates with no proprietary technology platform; its infrastructure consists of standard law-firm case management, document management, and client relationship systems. Todd C. Theodora serves as Chairman and CEO (jury trial specialist with 75+ cases to verdict; Stanford Law clinical faculty), and Kevin A. Dorse serves as Managing Partner heading the Construction Disputes Group. Ownership is partner-managed at Theodora Oringher PC (a California professional corporation) with no disclosed parent, no PE/VC backing, no subsidiaries, and no public listing or IPO history. Marketing channels are predominantly earned-media and referral-based — bar association memberships, Chambers/Best Lawyers/Super Lawyers recognition, and inter-firm referrals — with no disclosed digital marketing, partnerships, alliances, or ecosystem integrations.
