O’Melveny Worldwide

Corporate & Transactions

Across negotiating tables and in boardrooms, O’Melveny’s lawyers help reshape businesses, align capital structures to strategic plans, and drive growth.

We recognize that the only measure of quality that matters is our ability to contribute to the long-term success of our clients. And so we are fanatical about client service: we invest time to learn our clients’ business, culture, and goals. We leverage our considerable network to refer investment opportunities, introductions to financing sources, and connections to key business contacts. We push ourselves to produce business solutions to our clients’ pressing needs—not just technically sound legal analysis.

User-friendliness defines our approach. Our collaborative culture allows us to bring together integrated, cohesive teams across numerous disciplines—M&A, capital markets, finance, IP and commercial law, executive compensation, tax planning, restructuring, and corporate governance among them—for the benefit of early-stage startups, private equity sponsors, and multibillion-dollar global corporations alike.

We know that a client-centric commitment matters: the majority of our top clients have worked with us for more than a decade, turning to us year after year for multiple transactions and day-to-day corporate counseling. Whether our clients call on us for a company-changing strategic initiative, a complex capital-raising transaction, or a creative solution to a pressing business issue, the privilege of being their “trusted advisor” is one we don’t take for granted—and it shows.
