Company Description

At Mayfield Bustarde, LLP, we help businesses and individuals with their litigation and day-to-day legal needs. We practice what we call preventative law. By setting up your paperwork correctly initially, whether it is forming a corporation or LLC or drafting a master contract for the products/services you provide, drafting a revocable living trust or a lease for your rental property, you minimize the amount of legal trouble you can get into in the future as well as your legal costs.

For our business services, we serve as general counsel to San Diego businesses by providing entity related services (forming corporations, LLCs, and partnerships, as well as annual maintenance, such as preparation of annual minutes or consents), drafting and reviewing contracts, trademark and copyright registrations, employee issues, as well as resolving disputes with vendors, customers and competitors.

We provide full estate planning and probate services, including drafting revocable living trusts, wills, financial Power of Attorneys, Advanced Healthcare Directives (aka Healthcare Power of Attorneys), and handling trust administration or probate once your loved one passes away.

Although it is our goal to keep our clients out of litigation, as litigation is almost never the best option for a business, from both a financial and a time perspective, if your business is in a dispute that we cannot help you resolve, then the attorneys at Mayfield Bustarde, LLP will aggressively represent you in litigation to get you the best result for you and your business.

In addition, we also provide real estate related services, including lease reviews, property disputes (including ownership, boundary lines and buyer/seller/sales disputes), and landlord/tenant matters.

The origins of Mayfield Bustarde, LLP reach back to 1991 when Partner Gayle Mayfield-Venieris started her business practice with another partner. Ms. Mayfield-Venieris split from that partner in 1997 and continued the firm as Mayfield & Associates. In 2012, long-time employee Melissa Bustarde was made a partner and the firm changed its name to Mayfield Bustarde, LLP. Although the name of the firm has changed over the years, the core principals of the firm have not: providing quality representation to businesses and individuals in San Diego. We look at each issue you bring us from a business perspective to help you make the best business decision.
