Overview
O’Melveny’s reputation as a litigation powerhouse is built on a long record
of delivering exceptional results for clients when they need us most. From
Silicon Valley to Seoul, Hollywood to the Hill, Wall Street to the Web, we
guide clients through cases that seek billions of dollars in damages, that
challenge the business practices of entire industries, or that attempt to
criminalize broad swaths of corporate conduct.
The American Lawyer has likened our litigation team to a “relentless Land
Rover”—forging ahead no matter how daunting the obstacles to our clients’
goals. As a perennial honoree in the magazine’s “Litigation Department of
the Year” competition, we have been recognized for our courtroom skills
and versatility, “geographic and industry breadth befitting a firsttier national
litigation shop,” and string of “stunning wins.”
We help our clients prevail at every stage: on the pleadings, at trial, in
settlements, and on appeal. Most years their victories span all US
jurisdictions, including courts in nearly every state, every federal circuit, and
frequently the US Supreme Court. To serve multinational clients, we have
seasoned litigators on the ground in Asia and Europe who work in tandem
with colleagues in our US offices.
While our willingness to go to the mat for our clients is what keeps
companies wanting to work with us again and again, we never lose sight of
our clients’ business interests. Our efficient and effective advocacy skills

seasoned litigators on the ground in Asia and Europe who work in tandem
with colleagues in our US offices.
While our willingness to go to the mat for our clients is what keeps
companies wanting to work with us again and again, we never lose sight of
our clients’ business interests. Our efficient and effective advocacy skills
often resolve cases before they ever reach trial. And some of our biggest
litigation successes have been cases where we helped our client avoid
litigation altogether.
What Sets Us Apart
Although most large firms can litigate a case, few can shape a dispute
for trial—managing discovery, excluding testimony, limiting claims—as
comprehensively as we do. With our reputation for results, many
companies have chosen us to replace their original counsel in complex
disputes.
Our creative strategies and vigorous advocacy have spared clients
billions of dollars in exposure.
O’Melveny is always working to deliver the greatest value possible,
including crafting creative fee structures tailored to each client and
situation. The American Lawyer referred to our innovation
—“especially when it comes to alternative fee arrangements”—as one
of the traits that set us apart from other large law firms.
