O’Melveny To Add New Antitrust Partner In Los Angeles

O’Melveny announced Monday, December 21, 2020, that it has elected six lawyers across multiple practice areas to its 2021 partner class, including antitrust partner Stephen McIntyre in Los Angeles. 

Recognized by Global Competition Review in 2018 as one of “a new generation of lawyers doing partner-level work,” Stephen McIntyre has played a leading role in many of the firm’s biggest antitrust victories in recent years, including for clients in the pharmaceutical, consumer electronics, and entertainment industries. An expert in life sciences and class action antitrust litigation, McIntyre was a driving force behind the winning summary judgment briefs in In re Optical Disk Drives, a major cartel case in which class plaintiffs sought US$3 billion in treble damages. An author of numerous publications and a leader within the California antitrust bar, McIntyre also maintains an active pro bono practice representing refugees and asylum seekers. Fluent in Mandarin Chinese, he graduated from Duke University with both a juris doctor and a master’s in East Asian Studies.

“We are proud to welcome these outstanding lawyers into the partnership,” said Bradley J. Butwin, chair of O’Melveny. “They are dynamic leaders and role models who represent the best of our firm. Together, they will ensure that O’Melveny provides our clients with superior lawyering—today and well into the future.”
