For more than two decades, food industry and other business clients have turned to George Salmas for guidance and counsel.  After graduating law school at UCLA, Mr. Salmas devoted four years to Navy service where, as a Lieutenant and JAG officer, he represented the United States in criminal trials in Greece, Spain, Morocco, and on ships at sea.  Opening his own law firm in 1985, he focused on the food industry.  Under Mr. Salmas’ direction, Salmas Law Group provides food sector clients with full service representation in such areas as trademarks, patents, antitrust, contracts, real estate, regulatory, litigation and all other manner of legal support that a food business needs to function. 

Over the years, Mr. Salmas has successfully tried a number of litigation matters including a food trade secret case resulting in a $28 million judgment.  Mr. Salmas has also served as a judge pro tem of the Los Angeles County Municipal Courts.  Most recently, he helmed a client’s acquisition of a competitor’s business together with all its valuable trademarks.  This deal included formation of foreign LLCs, private debt financing, banking relations, real estate issues, and equipment financing.  His clients have sales totaling hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
