Chatow Law Named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Award Winner
The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards recognize B2B companies that provide essential services and expertise to help entrepreneurs and businesses grow
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., October 20, 2026. Chatow Law, a business litigation firm serving companies and business owners across Southern California, has been named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Awards winner, placing it among the leading B2B partners supporting entrepreneurs and businesses.
The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards honor B2B companies that have demonstrated a track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses navigate the challenges of building and growing a company. From hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, marketing, and more, these partners provide expertise and services that enable businesses to operate, scale, and pursue their ambitions.
“Before I practiced law, I spent 20 years building and running multimillion-dollar companies, including one that grew from three founding partners to more than 200 employees, $60 million in revenue, and #25 on the Inc. 500. I’ve seen what a good partnership can build. I’ve also seen how partnerships break down: partners stop agreeing on where the business is headed, one partner cuts the others off from the bank accounts and financial records, someone stops pulling their weight but still expects an equal share of the profits, or a 50% owner starts acting like they own 100%,” said Mark Chatow, founder of Chatow Law. “My job is to get clients the best business outcome, and that’s usually a well-negotiated settlement, not years in court. But when litigation is the better path, I’m ready to fight.”
“Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “The companies on this year’s Power Partners list have done just that. They don’t just have customers – they have superfans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they’ve proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed.”
Chatow Law is recognized for thinking like an owner, not just a litigator. Client reviews frequently mention Mark’s two decades of experience running companies. Clients appreciate that Mark understands a business owner’s mindset and stays calm and rational even when they’re upset. For someone in a partnership or family-business fight, that matters as much as legal skill. Clients also appreciate Mark’s honesty and focus on saving them legal costs. Clients trust that Mark won’t run up the bill on a fight they don’t need.
