About the company

O'Hagan Meyer defends businesses, nonprofit organizations and their leaders in lawsuits, with labor and employment law at the center of its practice. Its lawyers handle commercial disputes and professional liability claims as well as workplace cases, advising clients before disputes reach court and representing them through trial and appeal. The firm also advises on corporate transactions, intellectual property and insurance coverage, so clients use it for ongoing business advice as well as contested matters. Its work spans both individual claims and class actions, where one lawsuit addresses the claims of a wider group. Founded in 2006, O'Hagan Meyer is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Attorneys learn across offices: monthly OM College sessions feature partners teaching the business and practice of law.
  • Summer associates explore several specialties: the program allows work across multiple practice areas rather than just one.
  • Chicago docketing applicants get defined terms: the full-time posting lists flexible hybrid scheduling and $28-$38.50 hourly pay.

What critics are saying

  • Timekeeping draws on digital activity: O'Hagan Meyer's PointOne system drafts entries from attorneys' emails, meetings and documents.
  • Wilmington associates need local credentials: O'Hagan Meyer's general-liability vacancy requires Delaware bar admission.
  • Chicago docketing work brings deadline pressure: its posting specifies high-volume requests, including expedited work, with exceptional accuracy.

What makes O'Hagan Meyer unique

  • Court coverage extends beyond branches: firm lawyers hold licenses in over 35 jurisdictions and use outside local counsel.
  • Lean staffing is deliberate: O'Hagan Meyer assigns case teams by complexity and risk rather than lawyer hierarchy.
  • Summer associates get two mentors: each is paired with a partner and an associate.
