Mr. Johnson joined Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, effective May 2011. Mr. Johnson is a lead trial attorney with over 25 years of experience. Mr. Johnson practices general commercial litigation with an emphasis on financial services litigation. He has handled complex cases in both state and federal trial courts, as well as state and federal appellate courts. He has represented clients in securities fraud class actions, lender-liability actions, actions involving technology subject matters and related disputes over patents, trade secrets and alleged anticompetitive/unfair trade practices (primarily in bio-medical, semiconductor and communication fields), state and federal consumer class actions, actions involving disputes over payment and reimbursement for managed health care services and actions arising from the denial of claims against governmental entities.

Over his 25+ year career, Mr. Johnson has represented over a dozen national and regional financial institutions (many on a current and on-going basis) in complex commercial disputes and class actions. Mr. Johnson has taken various of those cases to successful conclusion in federal and state courts as well as in arbitrations. As a result of the expertise Mr. Johnson has developed in representing financial institutions, Mr. Johnson has also accepted representations of other companies that support financial institutions, such as in the areas of credit reporting and collection, vehicle repossession and liquidation, vehicle title issues, protection of privacy and personal identification information and general regulatory compliance, including in the areas of insurance and securities marketing. Mr. Johnson’s most current experience includes representing financial institutions in lender-liability disputes, consumer class actions and judicial foreclosures (including appointment of receivers and pursuit of prejudgment attachments).

Mr. Johnson’s experience also involves regular defense and prosecution of common law and statutory business claims. These claims include such traditional business torts as interference with established business relations, interference with prospective economic advantage, fraud and trade libel; the statutory business claims that Mr. Johnson routinely deals with include misappropriation of trade secrets under California Civil Code §§3426, et seq.; unfair, fraudulent or deceptive business practices under California Business and Professions Code §§ 17200, et seq.; violations of the Song-Beverly Act, California Civil Code §§ 1747, et seq.; violations of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, California Civil Code § 1770; violations of the Gift Card Act, California Civil Code §§ 1749.45 et seq.; unfair and anti-competitive practices under California Business and Professions Code §§ 17500, et seq.; the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, 47 U.S.C. 227, et seq.; and the Sherman Act.
