Full Profile

Eden Taranto is an associate in Clyde & Co's Los Angeles office. He works with partner Shain Wasser on complex civil litigation in state and federal courts. His practice focuses on general liability defense for insurers and their insureds, including high-exposure and catastrophic injury matters, premises liability, and personal injury claims.

Before joining Clyde & Co, Eden was an associate at Bordin Semmer LLP. There he handled cases from start to finish. He drafted and argued dispositive and discovery motions, took and defended depositions, and prepared mediation briefs and litigation plans. He worked closely with partners and insurance carriers on case strategy, and he negotiated settlements that significantly reduced his clients' litigation costs.

Earlier in his career, Eden clerked for civil defense, sports and entertainment, and employment firms around Los Angeles. He also clerked in the Organized Crimes Unit of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office. His sports law work included drafting and negotiating NIL agreements and endorsement contracts for collegiate and professional athletes. Because of his finance degree, he looks at disputes with the client's business goals in mind.

Eden earned his J.D. from Southwestern Law School. He was a teaching assistant for Copyright and California Bar Writing, served as president of the Jewish Law Student Association and the Jewish Growth Society, and was vice president of the Sports Law Society. He holds a B.S. in Finance, with a minor in Marketing, from Yeshiva University's Sy Syms School of Business. He is fluent in Hebrew.

Outside the office, Eden is a dedicated boxer and a big fan of basketball and football. He also loves movies and music. Most of all, he enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter.
