Among the group, Dubin will be transitioning to a role as assistant to the solicitor general at the US Department of Justice.

O’Melveny chair Bradley J. Butwin praised the new batch of partners, who will step into their new roles in the new year.

“We are delighted to recognize these exceptionally talented lawyers as an integral part of our firm’s future and welcome them to the partnership. They have shown, time and again, that they are deeply committed to serving our clients with distinction in the most complex and sensitive matters, and they embody the qualities and values we hold dear,” he said. “With this dynamic class of new partners, our clients—and our firm’s future—are in very good hands.”
