Seeking to capture the legal work that emerges as the media and technology industries converge, O’Melveny & Myers has launched a new Los Angeles-based group to service these sectors, expanding the firm’s presence in Southern California.

The group is called O’Melveny MediaTech, and will guide established and emerging companies and investors involved in content development and distribution, the firm announced Wednesday. The new group, which comprises more than 20 lawyers from the firm’s California and New York offices, will be led by partner T. Hale Boggs, who joined O’Melveny in November 2018 after three decades at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips.

The Recorder caught up with Boggs to learn more about the new “MediaTech” practice and how the firm plans on positioning itself in the growing Silicon Beach market.

Boggs answers have been edited lightly for clarity and style.

Why is the firm establishing the new MediaTech practice?
