CENTURY CITY—October 4, 2021—The American Lawyer has named O’Melveny partner Leah Godesky as one of The American Lawyer’s 2021 “Young Lawyers of the Year.”

Godesky is one of just six lawyers under the age of 40 recognized by The American Lawyer for making “an impact on their organization, the profession, clients or beyond through their work, service to the law firm, service to the industry or service to the community.”
