From defending the $85 billion merger of AT&T and Time Warner to serving as lead counsel for Johnson & Johnson in the opioid litigation to representing key players in the $100 billion Puerto Rico debt restructuring, O’Melveny & Myers litigators have been front and center in massive, high-profile matters. The firm’s role in newsmaking litigation helped O’Melveny earn the runner-up spot in the Litigation Department of the Year award from The American Lawyer, The Recorder’s sister brand.

“We’ve had one case after another ripped from the headlines,” says litigation department co-chair Richard Goetz. “We’re comfortable in that public spotlight.”
