A contested battle for the chairmanship of O’Melveny & Myers may soon end with sitting chair Arthur Culvahouse prevailing over four other candidates, reports The Recorder.
The firm’s election process consists of a survey of the partnership by the firm’s policy committee, which then recommends a candidate to the partnership, which then votes on whether to confirm the candidate. In recent weeks, that process has failed to turn up a clear majority winner, according to a former partner and a recruiter.
