O'Hagan Meyer

What O'Hagan Meyer does

O'Hagan Meyer is a U.S. national litigation and employment law firm organized as an Illinois-based Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC), with its headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia and Managing Partners Kevin M. O'Hagan and Charles G. Meyer III. The firm reports 300+ attorneys operating from 26 offices across the United States, with attorneys licensed in 34 states and serving clients in 18 languages. The firm was founded in 1893 per public firmographics, though detailed historical milestones were not disclosed in the source materials. Its go-to-market combines physical office presence in major U.S. regions with a value-oriented, relationship-driven client engagement model that emphasizes responsiveness and accountability, positioning itself as offering "Big Law Experience, Boutique Law Benefits" at "regional rates."

The firm's service portfolio spans more than 40 practice areas, with core offerings concentrated in Labor & Employment Law, Commercial & Business Litigation, Professional Liability and E&O Claims, Directors & Officers Defense, Products Liability and Tort Litigation, Transportation Law, Class & Collective Actions, Data Breach/Privacy/Cyber Liability, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence Legal Services, and ongoing General Counsel services. It serves corporate, nonprofit, association, and individual clients, with named enterprise logos spanning automotive (Kia, GM, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai), insurance (Chubb, Arch Insurance, Zurich, CNA, Travelers), transportation/logistics (FedEx), hospitality (Sofitel), food service (Potbelly), real estate/technology (Zillow), senior living (Commonwealth Senior Living), and technology (DOMA Technologies). The firm pursues external validation through Chambers USA 2026, Best Lawyers 2025, and Best Law Firms 2025 rankings.

The business model is professional-services billing (hourly rates and contingency arrangements are typical but not publicly disclosed), operated within what management describes as a "low-overhead environment" that enables competitive pricing relative to Am Law peers. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is exclusively direct through the firm's office network — no reseller, referral, or partner channel relationships were identified. No proprietary technology platform, API, or software product is offered; technology usage is implicit and undifferentiated. Recent strategic activity includes geographic expansion (Atlanta office build-out in April 2026 with two hired partners from Freed Grant, LLC), entry into the AI legal advisory vertical, and active thought-leadership publishing on procedural and regulatory developments such as New York's AVOID Act and Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law.
