The Essentials

  • Munger, Tolles & Olson is a nationwide firm with 200 lawyers in three offices – Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
  • Our national practice guides clients in jurisdictions around the country.
  • Our low-leverage environment gives attorneys the opportunity to make an impact from the day they start.

  • We don’t require attorneys to select a practice specialty.
