Anatolii Trembach represents businesses and individuals in a broad range of civil litigation. His practice focuses on the defense of claims related to asbestos, toxic torts, and premises liability.
Before joining Wilson Elser, Anatolii worked at a complex litigation firm in southern California, where he managed cases involving various civil litigation issues with an emphasis on construction matters. Previously, he practiced at an Encino, California firm, primarily representing employers, insurers, self-insureds, and third-party administrators in workers’ compensation disputes.
Anatolii holds a bachelor’s degree and an LL.M. degree from Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University in Ukraine, where he received multiple outstanding achievement awards. He earned a second LL.M. at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, where he received the Dean's Academic Excellence Award and a High Pass Certificate in legal writing.
Daniel S. Hurwitz (Partner-Los Angeles, CA), Anatolii Trembach (Associate-Los Angeles, CA), and Rory L. Lubin (Partner-White Plains, NY) obtained a complete victory in the Superior Court of California on behalf of Wilson Elser's client, a global real estate investment trust. The plaintiffs in this case sued our client, the alleged landlord of an industrial property where the decedent had worked, along with other defendants. The plaintiffs claimed that the decedent's death was caused by exposure to toxic chemicals at a facility operated by the client’s tenant, asserting wrongful death, strict product liability, and survival causes of action.
Dan and Anatolii prevailed on two successive demurrers, persuading the court that the claims against the client were barred by the statute of limitations and that the relation-back doctrine under Code of Civil Procedure § 474 did not apply. The court agreed and dismissed the action against the client. When the plaintiffs moved for reconsideration, we filed another brief demonstrating that the motion presented no new facts, circumstances, or law warranting reconsideration under Code of Civil Procedure § 1008. After reviewing our brief, the plaintiffs waved the white flag and withdrew the motion in its entirety, resulting in complete and final dismissal of the action at the pleadings stage and sparing the client the costs and risks associated with the discovery process. The case against the remaining defendants continues.
