ABOUT TIM MILLER
After 14 years as a litigation partner in the Northern California offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, I opened the Silicon Valley office of Valle Makoff LLP, a California litigation boutique comprised primarily of former Skadden litigators committed to providing highly effective and cost efficient legal services of the highest quality. I have a extensive experience litigating complex commercial and securities cases in federal and state courts. My practice includes a broad range of business and contract disputes, claims of trade secret misappropriation, breach of fiduciary duty claims against officers, directors and trustees, unfair business practices and unfair competition claims, business tort litigation, corporate and securities litigation, litigation arising from mergers and acquisitions and shareholder derivative litigation. I also represent special committees and individual members of Boards of Directors in connection with internal corporate and SEC investigations.
