I am Perry Goldberg, a Los Angeles-based lawyer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who relishes the challenge of solving problems in a wide array of areas. I am a life-long problem-solver. At the age of 12, I devised a unique method for solving the Rubik’s Cube, my fastest time (17 seconds) beating the then-world-record (21 seconds). I relish using my problem-solving skills to try to tackle important challenges. I began my legal career in 1993 after graduating with honors from Harvard Law School. My practice has focused primarily on intellectual property creation, protection, acquisition and monetization, and I have helped clients earn more than $1 billion from their intellectual property. I have been selected twelve times by Los Angeles Magazine as a Southern California “Super Lawyer,” including in its nine most recent surveys. I am currently the Managing Partner of Progress LLP (www.ProgressLLP.com), where I lead the implementation of novel firm practices to increase value for clients through enhanced collaboration approaches. Before law school, I studied economics and finance at the Wharton School of Business, where I graduated in three years in the top 1% of my class. In addition to serving as Managing Partner of my law firm and as President of Right Angle Ventures (www.RightAngleVentures.com), I also am a member of LA Community Leaders and the President of E Pluribus University (“Pluribus”) (www.epluribusuniversity.org). Pluribus is a 501(c)(3) non-profit I founded in 2013 with the mission of building an action-oriented intellectual hub to develop, use and share innovative models for collaborative learning and problem-solving to address global issues. Pluribus’ first major project – ThriveLA (www.ThriveLA.org) – is an attempt to end homelessness by designing and building self-sufficient communities of sustainable tiny houses on collaborative farms in LA’s Antelope Valley. ThriveLA hopes to develop a successful blueprint in Los Angeles that can be deployed around the world.
