We know you want to get back to what you do best- your business – which is why we give you what we do best.

About Us
In 2015, lawyers from several AmLaw 100 firms formed RuyakCherian LLP, now Cherian LLP, to practice in a nimble, small firm setting free of the conflicts and constraints of larger firms. Cherian LLP, a respected litigation boutique, delivers first class representation at moderate rates for clients from household names to start-ups.

Whether it’s an antitrust issue, a complicated IP matter or a pressing commercial litigation situation, we’re there working with you toward a successful business solution.

Our Commitment
Our commitment is to excellence – yours and ours. We listen to you, and offer strategies to help you attain your best business goals. Our commitment includes renewal of our dedication to those goals that have always inspired us – diversity and pro bono legal work.

Our team has been on the front lines for years bringing our experience and contacts to Cherian LLP clients. YOUR team includes our attorneys plus a first rate roster of resources – economic modelers, engineers, trial managers and technologists, eDiscovery managers and others on call to serve you.
