Archbald & Spray LLP has gained a statewide reputation for providing exceptional legal services on California’s Central Coast, including Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties. We help our clients understand their legal obligations, ensure regulatory compliance, negotiate commercial agreements, develop strategies to avoid litigation, aggressively defend lawsuits against them in both state and federal courts, and obtain value for their legal dollar. Our firm is a limited liability law partnership (LLP).
Although established as a traditional "insurance defense" firm, Archbald & Spray’s focus has changed considerably over the years. While insurance matters remain significant to our practice, that industry is now only part of a much broader mix of public and private clients.
Civil Litigation
Since 1960, a strong litigation practice has been the firm’s cornerstone. We have successfully defended clients faced with personal liability and business-threatening lawsuits in cases involving breach of contract, commercial liability, employment and other tort liability, professional negligence, estates and trusts, product liability, insurance coverage, and land use, among others. Our expertise extends beyond the trial process to include proceedings in the Courts of Appeal and California Supreme Court. Click here for information on our practice areas.
Business Law
The firm’s business law practice grew out of our representation of business clients as their defense counsel in civil litigation. Archbald & Spray attorneys are now also known for business law acumen, including the ability to negotiate challenging transactions and help clients, through preventive counseling, to avoid regulatory and legal actions. We advise and render transactional services to a range of public and private entities, applying our expertise as a "trial-ready firm" to help our clients anticipate and sidestep legal obstacles.

Value
Our firm is accomplished and our practice varied. Because we have earned professional respect from the judiciary and other counsel, our attorneys are able to focus their talents on obtaining prompt, favorable results for our clients, rather than on establishing credibility. Our trial-ready reputation serves our clients’ best interests, whether in negotiating an agreement, securing settlement, or mounting a defense in court. We work closely with clients to achieve effective and cost-sensitive solutions to legal problems. By emphasizing four core principles—integrity, industry, intelligence and innovation—we quickly identify a client’s goals and offer sound advice to achieve those objectives. Superior client service is our goal—through clear communication, prompt response to calls and requests, and careful attention to each client’s unique requirements.
