Aside from the diversity of its commercial agreements mandates due to the collaboration between the sports industry group and entertainment and media group at the firm, O'Melveny is noteworthy for its engagement in employment litigation in the sports industry. Experienced trial lawyer David Marroso, in Century City, is key for such litigation and is well placed to act for athletes and sports promoters in complex claims on issues such as race discrimination, while Jeffrey Gordon in Washington DC is also a strong disputes lawyer, particularly on the commercial side. Gordon is also often engaged in partnership agreements, a strength of the wider group, and practice head Amy Siegel in Century City is key for the group’s sponsorship agreement work.
