Kambiz Drake, Esq.

Senior Attorney – Business, Estate & Intellectual Property Strategy

Kambiz Drake is a Senior Attorney at Nehoray & Drake LLP, Attorneys at Law  | Southern California Attorneys A.P.C., where he advises clients at the critical intersection of business, intellectual property, and estate law. His practice spans Complex Estate Planning, Corporate Structuring, Asset Protection, Employment Law, Licensing, and IP-Integrated Wealth Strategy, with a focus on protecting innovation, preserving equity, and positioning businesses for long-term growth.

With over 25 years of combined experience in the pharmaceutical industry and private legal practice, Kambiz brings a uniquely technical and strategic mindset to every engagement. His early career in the life sciences sector developed his fluency in research-driven technologies, IP commercialization, and regulatory environments — experience that now informs his sophisticated approach to business formation, brand protection, and transactional law.

Kambizs' philosophy is that intellectual capital is a core estate asset — as essential to protect as real property or financial holdings. He designs trusts, business entities, and IP frameworks that maximize value retention and legal durability. His work frequently includes intergenerational IP transfers, brand valuation, and licensing structures, integrating corporate and estate objectives into cohesive, forward-looking strategies.

Known for his clarity, accessibility, and collaborative approach, Kambiz prioritizes client education at every stage of the legal process. He ensures that entrepreneurs, professionals, and family-owned enterprises understand both the strategic and human dimensions of their legal landscape. Whether developing a succession plan, shielding assets from exposure, or advising on brand and IP monetization, Kambiz operates with the precision of a strategist and the foresight of an educator.

Kambiz has been recognized by Martindale-Hubbell, Expert Network, and professional bar associations for his excellence and integrity. His multilingual ability (English and Farsi) and his team’s bilingual capacity (English and Spanish) enable him to serve a diverse and international client base throughout California and beyond.
