Overview

O’Hagan Meyer litigators are highly skilled and formidable advocates with a strong record of success before judges and juries in federal and state courts nationwide.

Our lawyers handle thousands of matters for businesses of all sizes every year, giving us a deep, practical understanding of how cases proceed—from initial pleadings through trial and appeal—and how outcomes are achieved in courts across different venues and jurisdictions.

We represent clients in trials, appeals, and complex federal and state court cases, as well as before key regulatory and administrative bodies, including the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and state attorneys general. We also represent clients in arbitration, mediation, and through other forms of alternative dispute resolution, as well as in negotiated resolutions designed to obtain efficient, business-aligned outcomes.

Our approach is straightforward. We conduct an early, thorough case evaluation, identify critical issues, assess strengths and risks, evaluate opposing arguments, and leverage the insights gained to shape our strategy. We prepare every matter as if it will be tried to verdict, and then pursue the best path to resolution, whether through early motion practice, negotiation, ADR, or verdict. Always trial-ready, our lawyers are well-positioned to resolve disputes efficiently and favorably at every stage through litigation or at the negotiating table.

Our experience across thousands of cases also enables us to anticipate how judges, juries, regulators, and opposing counsel are likely to approach a matter. We use that perspective to tailor strategy to the forum while maintaining consistency across national litigation dockets, helping clients manage risk across jurisdictions. We also leverage advanced technology and modern litigation tools to streamline case management, improve efficiency, and enhance strategic decision-making throughout the lifecycle of a dispute.

In addition to resolving cases, we advise clients on litigation avoidance strategies, policy development, and risk mitigation practices designed to reduce exposure before disputes arise. Clients value not only our results, but also our approach—responsive communication, lean staffing, practical guidance, cost consciousness, and a laser focus on outcomes that meet their immediate needs and advance their long-term business objectives.
