MUNGER, TOLLES & OLSON LLP.

For more than 50 years, Munger, Tolles & Olson attorneys have been partnering with clients on their most important and complex cases and deals. With offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco, we maintain a national and international practice. MTO's principal areas of practice include litigation, corporate, labor and employment, environmental, real estate, financial restructuring and tax. MTO has purposefully maintained a low-leverage environment and eschewed the high-leverage model adopted by... many firms. MTO believes their one-to-one overall partner-to-associate ratio instills a work ethic that results in a cost-effective approach for their clients. In every representation, their 200 lawyers are expected to make a difference in developing and implementing strategies to obtain the best results for the client. In a survey conducted by The American Lawyer, clients said they called on MTO in “precedent-setting cases that require a creative mind.” Where resources are needed, the survey noted that we are able to deploy an “army of trial lawyers capable of waging war.” MTO is involved in some of the most high-profile legal cases in the country and count among their clients Bank of America, Transocean, Edison International, Verizon, Rambus, Oaktree Capital Management, KB Home, LG Display, Yucaipa Cos. and Berkshire Hathaway. Descriptions of these and other representations can be found on their Practice and Industries pages. In order to provide excellent service, MTO strives to hire only the most qualified and creative lawyers. MTO believes that clerkships provide valuable experience. In this regard, more than 70 percent of our attorneys served as law clerks to federal judges. Fifteen attorneys were clerks to U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Beyond clerkships, our attorneys also have experiences that bring an additional dimension to their client service. Many of MTO's litigators honed their courtroom skills while serving as assistant U.S. attorneys and a number of our lawyers have advanced degrees in relevant subject matter areas, including physics, engineering and medicine. MTO is proud to count among their lawyers one of the top 19 trial lawyers in the country as identified by Chambers USA, as well as one of the Daily Journal’s “Ten Top Lawyers of the Decade.” MTO has been consistently ranked on The American Lawyer’s A-List since its inception in 2004, including four years in the top spot. This annual ranking of the nation’s elite law firms ranks on the basis of financial strength, diversity, pro bono work and attorney satisfaction. MTO believes their core values and one-to-one approach are responsible for their success in these four areas, as well as in delivering consistent results to their clients.More
