About O'Melveny & Myers
O'Melveny's entertainment and media practice brings together transactions, negotiations, and litigation. The firm's published work involves film, television, digital media, production and distribution, technology, gaming, music, and finance. These industries provide a recurring setting for both commercial agreements and disputes over business relationships or legal rights.

Its trial practice also addresses sports, antitrust and competition, business torts, insurance, securities, employment, and criminal defense. On the transactional side, lawyers advise on corporate and commercial arrangements affecting how content and related businesses are financed, produced, distributed, and monetized.
For students, the combination shows why entertainment law is not a single type of legal work. A media client may need a deal negotiated, a business structure developed, or a dispute tried in court. O'Melveny's published matters offer examples of those distinct roles and the connections between industry knowledge, commercial advice, and litigation strategy within the firm's practice.
