O'Melveny & Myers LLP.

It's more than what you do: it's how you do it. Across sectors and borders, in board rooms and courtrooms, we measure our success by yours. And in our interactions, we commit to making your O'Melveny experience as satisfying as the outcomes we help you achieve. Our greatest accomplishment is ensuring that you never have to choose between premier lawyering and exceptional service. So, tell us. What do you want to achieve?
Whether we're connecting clients to new business opportunities, collaborating on strategies to push through their obstacles, or trading ideas for maximizing value, our clients' business objectives are what set our agenda.
Our commitment starts with great legal results, but doesn't end there. It also means:
Getting to know our clients' goals, businesses, and cultures as well as any member of their own team;
Stepping back and taking a global view of what makes for a successful outcome;
Being where our clients need us, when they need us;
Consistently delivering excellent results using the most efficient means possible;
Mobilizing strong, diverse teams that come up with creative ways to solve problems; and
Becoming our clients' biggest supporter and greatest ally in everything they do.
It's an approach that comes naturally to us, and always has. At our core, you'll find a dedication to excellence, a drive to lead and innovate, and a deep sense of civic responsibility. These characteristics - established by our founders - have anchored us for more than 130 years, and remain every bit as important to who we are today.
Excellence + Innovation
At O'Melveny, we're proud of our staying power, but we haven't endured by standing pat. We thrive on finding new ways to help our clients solve problems and reach objectives, whether we are counseling companies at the leading edge of the clean energy or life sciences industries, helping investors access capital in tight credit markets, advising financial institutions on strategies for adapting to changing Wall Street regulations, or defending Fortune 500 firms against novel theories of liability.
Whatever your needs, we have the resources to see you through. Our award-winning litigation team - one of only two to have won, or been a runner-up, finalist, or honorable mention recipient in every American Lawyer "Litigation Department of the Year" contest since the awards began - is renowned for reducing clients' exposure and risk, disposing of cases early, and developing inventive strategies that lead to groundbreaking results. Our premier corporate team, regularly among the most active firms on annual league table rankings, has an established record of completing landmark deals - from record-setting acquisitions and offerings to high-profile chapter 11 proceedings. With our tradition of public service, we have former White House officials and Department of Justice prosecutors ready to offer invaluable insights into political agendas, policymaking decisions, and regulatory trends. And our more than a dozen industry teams fuse all these exceptional abilities with a deep understanding of the intricacies of how, where, and why our clients do business.
We appreciate the recognition our work earns us, even more so when it reflects our commitment to our clients. For eight straight years now, we have been named to The American Lawyer's prestigious "A-List," which measures "the best of the well-rounded best," as the magazine puts it. We also have been named one of the "Most Innovative Law Firms" by Financial Times.
That same drive to innovate can be seen in our investments - in our technology, in our operations, and in our people - all designed to deliver what our clients need not only today, but also well into the future. We've implemented a thoughtful mix of emerging technologies that expand the efficiency of our information retrieval and review capabilities. We've brought a Pulitzer Prize?winning brief editor onboard to frame and sharpen our clients' arguments. And we've built one of the industry's most comprehensive programs for training and developing our lawyers and professional staff.
We also understand that to realize our fullest potential - and to achieve the best results for our clients - we must connect all our people to a common purpose in an environment where everyone can succeed. As a firm we are committed to increasing the number of diverse attorneys at the partnership level and in leadership roles, providing clients with a wider range of perspectives and greater innovation.
A Seamless Global Team
With approximately 750 lawyers on three continents, and strong cultural ties to all our locations, O'Melveny is both local and global - an international law firm experienced in everything from the fine print of a municipal zoning law to the intricacies of an international infrastructure deal. Collaboration thrives among our 15 offices. Whether a cross-border merger requires US, UK, and Chinese tax advice, or a multijurisdictional dispute involves tracking down witnesses and documents in different countries and languages, O'Melveny's worldwide reach ensures that nothing gets lost in translation.
Social Responsibility
Connecting with our communities to serve our most vulnerable neighbors has been part of our DNA since O'Melveny's earliest days. Citizenship, along with excellence and leadership, is one of the core values articulated by our late Chairman, former US Secretary of State Warren Christopher, whose legacy is the standard by which we continue to measure our performance.
Answering this calling is a duty we feel privileged to fulfill. Through our acclaimed pro bono program and vibrant corporate social responsibility program, which encompasses our longstanding scholarship and mentoring programs, community involvement, sustainability efforts, and individual service, we grow as lawyers and leaders and strengthen the communities where our clients and colleagues work and live.

As the city's oldest law firm, O'Melveny helps clients in the Los Angeles area and beyond tackle their most important legal matters and achieve critical strategic goals, whether completing a company's initial public offering or defending a company in complex, multi-billion dollar litigation. We counsel clients in areas including white-collar defense and corporate investigations; intellectual property; mergers and acquisitions; capital markets; class actions; and international data privacy and cybersecurity. Political leaders, Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, and those in need of pro bono legal assistance are among those who turn to us for guidance on critical legal issues. When Henry O'Melveny founded the firm 130 years ago, Los Angeles was little more than a bustling village on the western edge of the American frontier. Like the city, the firm has grown, and today our Los Angeles team is part of a network of hundreds of lawyers across the US, Asia, and Europe who work together to help our clients succeed in an increasingly complex global economy.
