O’Melveny & Myers has snagged Winston & Strawn litigation leader and former Houston Bar Association President Denise Scofield, who is joining the firm as a partner in its litigation department and energy industry group.
The hire is the latest example of O’Melveny’s efforts to grow in the Texas market. The firm first arrived in 2021 with offices in Austin and Dallas, and launched in Houston a year later with the help of three laterals from Willkie Farr & Gallagher.
