O’Melveny & Myers has selected Bradley Butwin, the New York-based head of the firm’s litigation practice, as its new chair. Mr. Butwin, 51, will succeed Arthur “A.B.” Culvahouse, Jr., who has held the position since 2000. “The chance to lead this great firm is a humbling and exciting privilege,” Mr. Butwin said in an interview yesterday. “O’Melveny is a great firm with extraordinary lawyers, top clients and a rich history.”
The decision to elevate Mr. Butwin to O’Melveny’s top leadership post comes a bit more than two weeks after the firm confirmed that its policy committee had narrowed to three the field of candidates from which it would choose its new chair. In addition to Mr. Butwin, the others under consideration were Washington, D.C.-based partner Thomas McCoy and Los Angeles-based partner M. Randall Oppenheimer. Like Mr. Butwin, Messrs. McCoy and Oppenheimer are litigators.
