O’Melveny Continues Texas Expansion, Launches Dallas Office
Just three weeks after launching an Austin office—its first in the Lone Star State—O’Melveny today announced the opening of a Dallas office. It will be anchored by four new partners nationally recognized for their leadership in corporate restructuring and complex litigation.
Louis R. Strubeck, Jr., Scott Paul Drake, H. Douglas Wabner, and Gregory M. Wilkes join the firm from Norton Rose Fulbright, where Strubeck served as Global and US Head of the Restructuring & Insolvency Practice and Drake was regional Head of Litigation. The four lawyers, who have practiced together for more than 15 years, are among the most prominent legal teams in Dallas, each experienced in leading high-profile matters for Texas-based and national clients.
Strubeck and Wilkes join O’Melveny’s Restructuring Practice, Drake joins the Bankruptcy Litigation Practice, and Wabner, the Product Liability & Mass Torts Practice. The team will work with lawyers across the firm to support the needs of regional, national, and international clients.
“Today we’re reaffirming what we said last month: O’Melveny is committed to expanding our platform in Texas to better serve our clients’ needs,” said O’Melveny Chair Bradley J. Butwin. “We’re delighted to launch in Dallas with four top-notch partners whose practices build on several of our existing practice and industry strengths. Lou, Scott, Doug, and Greg share our vision for O’Melveny’s Texas platform, and their arrival is a key step toward realizing that vision. We look forward to working with them to better serve our clients.”
“We’re delighted to welcome Lou, Scott, Doug, and Greg to the firm,” added O’Melveny Vice Chair Mark Samuels. “They bring national reputations for excellence in their respective fields and will deepen our capabilities in restructuring as well as in life sciences litigation—areas where O’Melveny is widely considered best-in-class. Each of our new partners is also actively engaged in his community, with exceptionally strong ties to local charities, professional and pro bono groups, and civic and cultural organizations. We feel fortunate to enter Dallas with this great team.”
