O'Melveny helps build and connect prosperous communities of law and business. Our clients come from many industries, nations, and developmental stages. Their diversity spurs our own diversity and reach. We were one of the first US law firms to open offices in Beijing and Tokyo. We now have the largest China practice of any US-based law firm, with offices in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. Moreover, in August 2008 we opened an office in Singapore. Our European offices are in the key economic and political centers of London and Brussels. Our lawyers' outstanding work regularly garners international awards and recognition.

The lawyers in the Litigation Department at O'Melveny represent prominent clients in high-stakes litigation. We have prevailed in hundreds of trials, with many more cases resolved earlier because of our efficient and effective advocacy skills.

O'Melveny's achievements stem directly from the talent and commitment of approximately 1,000 lawyers who practice in 14 offices. Clients value our lawyers' skills and creative strategies, as well as the common sense and civility they bring to important conversations. Our paralegals, librarians, assistants, clerks, administrators, and other staff members work in pursuit of our clients' success and are highly valued members of the O'Melveny team.

We have an unrivaled level of experience on all critical issues in litigation and electronic discovery. We have negotiated case management plans that serve as models in other cases, and we have lessened the burden of costly discovery requests through unique response strategies. We are well-versed in cost recovery, attorney-client privilege protection, and engaging forensic experts. We are also experienced with the most advanced collection and search methods, and have supervised document reviews on the most massive scale. In short, we are true practitioners of the law of electronic discovery and document retention.
