Benjamin P. Tarczy
About Ben
Ben Tarczy is an experienced litigation attorney with a diverse practice focused on complex commercial disputes and high-stakes defense matters. He represents businesses and large corporations in state and federal courts, with experience handling a range of business and consumer litigation in California. Ben provides strategic, results-driven advocacy from pre-litigation through trial and is equally comfortable steering a dispute toward early, negotiated resolution as he is trying a case to verdict. He tailors his approach to whichever path best protects his client’s long-term business interests.
A substantial portion of Ben’s practice focuses on commercial litigation, particularly franchise disputes between businesses. He represents franchisors, manufacturers, distributors, and other businesses in litigation, arbitration, and mediation and counsels corporate clients on litigation strategy and risk management. Ben holds a Certificate in Dispute Resolution from the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law and draws on that training when guiding clients through mediation and negotiated resolutions. His broader litigation experience includes class actions, premises liability, personal injury matters, and defending breach of warranty claims on behalf of major automobile manufacturers.
Ben maintains an active practice involving California and consumer-focused claims, including actions brought under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), Proposition 65 citizen suits, and disability access claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act. He also handles consumer protection claims involving the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), California’s Unfair Competition Law (Business & Professions Code § 17200), and other unfair business practices. This experience allows him to help clients navigate the procedural and strategic considerations these matters present, from early resolution through litigation.
Clients value Ben for his strategic insight, efficient case management, clear communication, and commitment to achieving favorable outcomes in complex and contested matters.
