“We’re tremendously proud to once again earn a #1 ranking as the ‘Best Law Firm to Work For,’ and we’re grateful to the many associates and counsel who took the time to participate in this survey,” said O’Melveny chair Bradley J. Butwin. “Our streak of remarkable results underscores what I’ve long believed: that our collective success is built on the foundation of O’Melveny’s shared values and our commitment to one another.”
