Part 4. Practical Resolution Tools in a Non-Disclosure: Pre-Litigation

July 1, 2026

Money makes the world go round and is often a major player if not the player in determining how a nondisclosure is handled on a practical level.

BPE Law was Founded by Attorney Steve Beede in 1995.

The firm name embodies our core practice areas – Business, Properties, Estates. From the firm’s inception, our goal has been to provide exceptional legal services to private individuals, real estate professionals and business owners. Our expertise has made us the law firm of choice in the greater Sacramento area and throughout California.

Our first office was in downtown Sacramento. In 2000, the decision was made to move our offices to Fair Oaks, and in November 2015, due to the steady growth of the firm, we opened BPE Law in Gold River in order to better serve our clients. In 2017, BPE Law completed its leadership transition as Mr. Beede stepped into retirement and Keith Dunnagan assumed the management of the Firm.
