LAW FIRMS Ranked by number of attorneys in L.A. County offices

150 THE LISTS 2013 • LOS ANGELES BUSINESS JOURNAL

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.
