Overview
O’Melveny & Myers LLP is recognized as one of the leading international law firms in China, with a practice covering a broad range of industries, clients, and matters. We offer a unique combination of Chinese local know-how and international law firm excellence.
We pride ourselves on the fact that our China practice operates as a single, large, integrated operation rather than as three separate offices. Client matters are staffed across offices depending on the experience needed for the project and our staffing availability. Our operations are also closely integrated with China practice groups located in our United States, Japanese, and European offices. We have more than 100 professionals in our China practice, including 16 partners and a large group of talented counsel, associates, and legal consultants with diverse backgrounds and experience. Unlike many other international law firms, we have chosen to locate most of our practice’s lawyers and consultants on the ground in mainland China.
Most of our lawyers in mainland China speak fluent Chinese and provide an international perspective, having practiced both inside and outside China. They are either Americans or other foreign nationals who have moved to China or native Chinese who have studied law abroad and returned home to practice. Our legal consultants are graduates of the finest Chinese law schools.
