He represents both plaintiffs and defendants, and has tried cases in state and federal courts. Mr. Rosen's litigation experience reaches a broad range of issues, including corporate and partnership disputes, breach of contract, commercial bribery, intellectual property rights, and other business torts. He also has handled litigation matters arising from disputes over entertainment financing, mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions, and probate. In addition to his trial practice, Mr. Rosen has handled numerous state and federal appeals. He also testified as an expert witness on the issue of the reasonableness of attorney's fees in business litigation. In 2006, 2007 and 2008 he was named a Southern California "Super Lawyer" by Los Angeles Magazine.

Since Mr. Rosen formed Murphy, Rosen & Meylan, his cases have included:

		Obtaining a defense verdict in a securities class action case against the directors and preferred shareholders of a publicly traded company in which plaintiffs alleged that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by selling the company's assets and distributing the proceeds to the preferred shareholders, leaving nothing for the common shareholders. After a four week bench trial, the Court ruled that defendants did not breach their duties and that the transaction was fair to the common shareholders.
		Representing a publicly traded wholesale mortgage lender in a lawsuit brought by a competitor alleging theft of trade secrets, interference with contract, fraud and unfair competition. After defeating the plaintiff's attempt to obtain a preliminary injunction, we were able to negotiate a favorable settlement for the client.
		Obtaining a favorable defense verdict in the first phase of a partnership dissolution action. After a three-week jury trial on the question whether various opportunities pursued by the defendant were partnership opportunities, the jury found that none were partnership opportunities. The case went to trial less than two weeks after Mr. Rosen was substituted in as counsel for the defendant.
		Obtaining a defense verdict on behalf of the trustee of a trust after a six-week bench trial in a lawsuit concerning a dispute over the enforceability of a contract to purchase three contiguous beach-front properties in Santa Monica. The Court also awarded the trustee all of the attorney's fees incurred in the lawsuit.
		Obtaining summary adjudication of liability on behalf of an internet advertising company in a breach of contract action brought against an on-line dating service. With damages as the sole remaining issue, the case quickly settled.
		Obtaining a favorable settlement on behalf of a partner in a partnership created to sell patriotic merchandise on the Internet, and which became the first website to sell the "Iraqi Most Wanted" playing cards. The lawsuit concerned distribution of partnership profits.
		Successfully securing reversal of a judgment against our client, Space Systems/Loral, in a patent infringement action. The patent concerns attitude control technology used in communications satellites. In its decision, the Federal Circuit remanded the case for trial on the merits.
		Defending the former President of a company formed to develop and market an interactive television software program. The lawsuit alleges theft of trade secrets, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract arising from the former President's resignation from the company and ultimate employment with a company developing a competing technology.
		Representing a motion picture production and distribution company in a series lawsuits concerning distribution and financing of various motion pictures.
