International law firm based in Los Angeles

O'Melveny & Myers LLP is an American multinational law firm founded in Los Angeles, California in 1885. The firm employs approximately 740 lawyers and has offices in California, Washington, D. C., New York City, Beijing, Brussels, Hong Kong, London, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo.

The firm was founded on January 2, 1885 as "Graves & O'Melveny" by Henry O'Melveny and Jackson Graves. At its founding, the firm consisted of the two attorneys themselves, with zero staff. Litigation partner Bradley J. Butwin became chair of the firm in 2012; his term extends until 2025. The firm defended Donald Trump against a lawsuit over Trump University. O'Melveny vetted the president's nominees. The firm represented the Trump inaugural committee when it was investigated by the U. S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. O'Melveny also represented President Trump's commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, over allegations of conflicted investments. In November 2023, amid a wave of antisemitic incidents at elite U. S. law schools, O'Melveny & Myers was among a group of major law firms who sent a letter to top law school deans warning them that an escalation in incidents targeting Jewish students would have corporate hiring consequences. The letter said "We look to you to ensure your students who hope to join our firms after graduation are prepared to be an active part of workplace communities that have zero tolerance policies for any form of discrimination or harassment, much less the kind that has been taking place on some law school campuses."

The firm ranked number one on Vault. com's 2019 list of "Best Firms to Work For," a ranking of the world's law firms based on quality of life for attorneys. It received the highest rankings for "Job Satisfaction", "Associate/Partner Relations", "Best Firm Culture", "Quality of work", "Transparency", "Hours Requirements", "Summer Associate Program", and "Attorney Development." The firm ranked number six for "Best Attorney Compensation." According to Above the Law, first year associates at the firm are paid a base salary of $215,000 with bonuses available yearly. Summer associates are paid the same salary, although it is prorated over 10 weeks (amounting to $3,700 per week). O'Melveny ranked in the Top 10 for the 5th consecutive year on the 2016 "A List," a measure of the nation's most "well rounded" firms. The firm has been a winner, finalist, or honorable mention recipient in every year of the biennial Litigation Department of the Year contest since its 2002 inception, one of only two firms to achieve that distinction. It is one of the highest paying law firms in the United States.
