In a testament to the growing strength of O’Melveny’s aircraft finance and leasing practice, The Legal 500 UK 2024 has recognized O’Melveny as one of the top firms for Transport Finance and Leasing and named London-based counsel Patrick Brophy a Rising Star. The guide quotes clients stating that the team “delivers at the levels expected from Magic Circle and other large commercial practices” and commends Patrick as an “outstanding” lawyer who “is particularly in tune with the specific requirements of leasing companies.” This recognition follows on the heels of The Legal 500 US 2023 naming O’Melveny a “Firm To Watch” for Aviation and Air Travel: Finance.
