The Experience

We know you want to hit the ground running, and we'll help you do just that.  Whether new lawyer or lateral, we'll provide you with a rapid integration into the fabric of the Firm.

• In an initial one-on-one meeting with your work coordinator, you'll assess your professional strengths and goals.
• You'll be paired with a mentor appropriate to your level to help navigate your new working environment.
• A series of social events held in your honor will help foster personal connections within O'Melveny.  You can also take advantage of the “Take a Partner to Lunch” program, which encourages new lawyers to go to lunch with a partner of their choice. 
• The integration experience culminates with a New Attorney/Lateral Training Retreat held every autumn in Southern California.

Lateral Partners
We have an extensive lateral partner integration program that streamlines and maximizes your transition and entrance experience.  Targeted networking and client relations support, a mentor/advisor accountable for contributing to your integration, and early and sustained contact all help you feel like a part of O'Melveny even before you arrive.
