LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA ─ MAY 10, 2011 ─ O’Melveny & Myers LLP is the top-ranked Corporate Law Firm in the greater Los Angeles area, according to this year's survey by Corporate Board Member magazine and FTI Consulting Inc. O’Melveny also ranks among the top 25 corporate law firms nationwide in two 2011 surveys that polled US directors and general counsel, respectively. This marks the fourth consecutive year that the Firm has been named one of the top corporate law firms in the annual survey.

 

“We pride ourselves on being trusted advisors to our corporate clients, working closely with officers, directors, and general counsel to serve their full range of needs from providing counsel on day-to-day operational matters to structuring their most complex strategic transactions,” said Gary Singer, Chair of the Transactions Department of O’Melveny. “Having that group of people recognize O’Melveny’s capabilities for the fourth straight year is a gratifying validation of our commitment to our clients.”

 

Corporate Board Member, a respected quarterly publication, and FTI Consulting, a US$1.4 billion publicly traded global business advisory firm, mailed out the survey in January 2011 and also asked directors and general counsel of US publicly traded companies to weigh in on current governance matters. After reviewing the responses, Corporate Board Member cited O’Melveny’s “reputation” and “outstanding service” in naming it the top corporate law firm in the Los Angeles area, and among the top 25 corporate law firms nationwide in the polls of directors and in-house counsel.

 

“Law firms especially value our rankings because they come not from their peers—other lawyers—but from the corporate officers, directors, and in-house attorneys who hire law firms,” said TK Kerstetter, president of Corporate Board Member. “Taken together, the director and the general counsel rankings provide savvy intelligence for boards looking for legal firepower when the going gets rough—especially in challenging economic times.”
