ABTL has spent five decades doing something rare: holding the business trial bar to a standard. Competence. Ethics. Professionalism. Civility. The same dialogue between bench and bar that ABTL has cultivated since 1973 is what makes business litigation in California work — and what makes the work worth doing.
OnTrial was built for the practitioners who carry that standard into every matter. Plaintiff or defense. AmLaw or solo. The intelligence behind a strong case — who the parties really are, where the assets really sit, what the witnesses and jurors have really said and done, and what really happened — should be fast, accurate, and verifiable. It rarely is.
We built OnTrial to fix that, and we built it with people who have done this work at the level it deserves. Every internal role at OnTrial is filled by a veteran of the military, the intelligence community, or law enforcement. The standards we operate under come from where we trained.
We sponsor ABTL because we believe in what the organization stands for, and because the litigators it serves are the practitioners we built OnTrial for. Every member of ABTL has a standing invitation to use the platform, speak directly with our case managers, and put us to work on the matters that matter most.
