Litigation practice areas
- Writs and administrative mandamus: Superior Court petitions for a writ of mandate challenging final decisions of licensing boards, state and local agencies, and hospital governing bodies (Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 and 1094.5)
- Federal litigation: civil matters in California’s four federal districts, including civil RICO claims under 18 U.S.C. sections 1962 and 1964(c)
- Civil litigation in state court: business and contract disputes, personal injury claims, and related negotiation, mediation, and arbitration
How litigation connects to the rest of the practice
Many disputes start in front of a licensing board or a hospital medical staff and only later reach a courtroom. A physician or other licensee who loses at an administrative hearing may generally seek review in the Superior Court by petition for writ of mandate (Government Code section 11523 and Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5). For the earlier stages, see professional license defense, Medical Board investigations, and peer review and credentialing.
Mediation and settlement
Nathan Mubasher has conducted over 1,000 mediations, and he completed Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) training through the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) that resulted in a series of certificates. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration rather than trial. Whether that is realistic depends on the facts, the other side, and the client’s goals.
