LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA ─ O’Melveny & Myers LLP has been named to
The American Lawyer’s 2009 A-List, which recognizes the nation’s most elite law firms for stellar performance in the areas of revenue generation, pro bono casework, associate satisfaction, and diversity representation. In its second consecutive year on the list of 20 firms judged best at balancing a thriving business with their obligations to the profession, O’Melveny ranks 16th.
“We’re extremely honored by this recognition from
The American Lawyer,” said Arthur B. Culvahouse, Jr., Chair of O’Melveny & Myers.
“Additionally, we are grateful for the confidence our clients have placed in our Firm over the past year. Without the trust and support of our clients, this achievement would not have been possible.”
This year’s A-List calculations revealed that the Firm maintained an especially distinguished pro bono record among elite firms in 2008. As a testament to the sustained importance of public interest legal work at the Firm, O’Melveny averaged just over 125 hours per lawyer on pro bono matters in 2008, placing it among
