Our Story

Sanchez & Amador was formed in 1994 by founding partners David Sanchez and Richard S. Amador. S&A’s client base primarily consists of Fortune 500 companies in the technology, financial services, manufacturing, logistics, retail, and food service industries. Our firm and attorneys have received multiple awards and recognition for superior client service from national and statewide organizations.

Sanchez & Amador is wonderfully diverse in race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, religion, and disability. Our diversity of viewpoints and life experiences inform and strengthen the quality of our work. We are certified 100% minority owned and have made significant contributions to the success of minority and women-owned law firms and diverse lawyers throughout the country. Our partners have served on the boards of the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF), the California Minority Counsel Program (CMCP), the National Employment Law Council (NELC), the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), and other organizations that share our commitment to diversity in the legal profession.

We are proud of the diversity of our attorneys and staff and the firm’s culture. We are united in our dedication to our craft, our clients, our colleagues and our families. Our attorneys have graduated from some of the finest law schools in the country, most have large law firm experience, and most have in-house experience. S&A alumni have gone on to in-house positions, the bench, to open their own practices and to fields outside the law. As S&A looks to the future, we remain committed to the three core values that have guided us since the beginning: providing the highest quality legal services, maintaining the highest levels of professional integrity, and delivering extraordinary client service.

Sanchez & Amador has offices in Downtown Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. Please see Our Services for summaries of our practice areas.
