This month, partners at O’Melveny & Myers’ partnership reelected chairman Bradley Butwin to serve a third four-year term, ensuring that he will lead the firm into 2025.

Ensconced in his Long Island home with his sprawling family, Butwin spoke with The American Lawyer about the challenges his firm faces from COVID-19 and his goals for the firm once the world emerges from the grip of the pandemic. Butwin also confirmed that O’Melveny & Myers has managed to avoid any cuts to compensation or staffing at the 670-attorney international firm. And, when underscoring how vital communication is in the current moment, he shared how the firm is trying to keep staying in touch remotely from getting boring.
