While in France, Mr. Vonderweidt first worked for a law firm specialized in cases before the Court de Cassation, the equivalent of the US Supreme Court.

At the same time, he was an adjunct professor at the University of Paris-X teaching Banking Law and Contracts. After attending the University of San Diego, Mr. Vonderweidt worked for two major Los Angeles law firms before opening his own law firm in 1995.


Through the years, Mr. Vonderweidt has developed strong ties with the French community in Southern California. Mr. Vonderweidt has been invited to participate to various live shows on American television such as CNN, The Today Show and the NBC news hours as well on the Public National broadcasting radio at the News Hour with Jim Lehrer as well as on the French radio station Europe 1, where he gave several talks to business leaders regarding investing in the United States. Mr. Vonderweidt is also an arbitrator with The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and has presided over several arbitrations.


Our law firm’s emphasis is on representing foreign corporations and individual, especially French corporations coming to the United States. Most of the firm’s clients are from Europe, but the firm also represents clients from Australia, Switzerland, Belgium, Iran, Algeria, Lebanon, Vietnam, Canada, Colombia and Senegal.


 Fluent in French and using his French legal education and experience, Mr. Vonderweidt is able to guide clients, either French or American, through the arcane of the French legal system. Having worked in France and maintaining both professional and personal ties there, Mr. Vonderweidt has many resources available in both countries.
