O'Melveny

O'Melveny‘s deep bench of seasoned litigators demonstrates exceptional fortitude in assisting clients in the life sciences, tech, energy, and consumer products sectors with high-profile state attorneys general trials and investigations. At the multistate level, the team has played a leading role in headline-hitting investigations into opioids, PFAS, plastics, social media, pelvic mesh medical devices, and gas pricing. Spread across three primary offices, the practice is led by Los Angeles-based Daniel Suvor, who advises clients on the national AG landscape and on how best to engage with state regulators, DC’s Steven Brody, a veteran state AG trial lawyer who served as lead trial counsel for J&J in the landmark opioid case brought by the State of Oklahoma, and Ross Galin in New York, who supports life sciences and pharmaceutical companies with investigations, negotiations, and settlements. In LA, Dawn Sestito is a strong choice for investigations involving climate change, plastics, antitrust, price gouging, UCL/FAL, and public nuisance, Sabrina Strong has extensive experience in complex and high profile trial litigation, and Jonathan Schneller has proved his mettle in investigations and litigation relating to opioids and medical devices. In San Francisco, Damali Taylor is sought after by tech and automotive companies, while Geoff Yost is an expert in investigations and enforcement actions relating to violations of state environmental laws. LA’s Matt Cowan, who specializes in energy and environmental matters, and Washington DC’s Mattie Hutton, who excels in the fields of life sciences and pharmaceuticals, were made partner in January 2023.
