LOS ANGELES
BUSINESS JOURNAL THE LIST
For the first time in 20
years, L.A. has a new
largest law firm: Gibson
Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
Gibson Dunn had held
the top spot back in the
late 1980s, the heyday
of the “L.A. Law” TV
phenomenon. Then
O’Melveny & Myers LLP
surpassed Gibson Dunn
in 1991 and maintained
the top ranking for the
next 20 years. But this
year, O’Melveny reported
a drop of 36 attorneys
to 259 at its two L.A.
offices as the firm has
been transitioning to a
more national focus. That
allowed Gibson Dunn,
which only dropped
six attorneys, to slip
back into the No. 1 slot,
with 262 attorneys at
its downtown L.A. and
Century City offices.
1
PROFITS: At O’Melveny,
profits per partner
increased by $195,000
to $1.72 million for the
fiscal year ended Jan.
31. The firm saw total
revenue fall slightly from
$782 million in 2010 to
$779 million last year.
