History
Established in Los Angeles in 1909 by siblings Edwin J. and Joseph P. Loeb, the firm quickly gained prestige by representing prominent clients like the Associated Jobbers of Los Angeles in a significant rail transportation case that escalated to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1914, impacting commerce between California’s major cities.
Loeb & Loeb has maintained deep connections to the entertainment sector. During the 1920s, it played an instrumental role for theater magnate Marcus Loew, handling deals that culminated in the formation of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). Additionally, Edwin Loeb was among the founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (AMPAS).
The firm also helped establish key Los Angeles institutions such as UnionBank and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, underscoring its commitment to supporting innovators and entrepreneurs—a focus that remains integral to its identity.
The 1986 merger with Hess Segal in New York marked Loeb & Loeb’s transition into a national and subsequently global law firm.
In 2025, the firm successfully defended itself and partner Allen Z. Sussman in a notable malicious prosecution case involving a former general counsel of Aluminaid.
