What Newmeyer & Dillion does

Newmeyer & Dillion is a privately held, full-service business and real estate law firm headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with additional offices in Walnut Creek, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. The firm employs 101–250 people and serves corporate entities, real estate developers and investors, construction companies, and insurance policyholders across multiple practice areas including business litigation, corporate transactions (acquisitions, securities, mergers), real estate transactions and litigation, labor and employment, construction law, intellectual property (trademarks and licensing), privacy and data security (including CCPA), insurance coverage and bad faith litigation, bankruptcy and restructuring, zoning and land use, and sports and entertainment. Greg Dillion is identified as a founding partner.

The firm generates revenue through professional services engagement—primarily hourly and fixed-fee billable legal work—with client acquisition driven by attorney reputation, professional referrals, and analyst rankings such as Chambers USA, Chambers Spotlight California, and Super Lawyers. Service distribution is direct-to-client through attorney engagement at the firm's three physical offices, supported by a content marketing program (website, publications, events, news) and a ClientPay integration for bill pay and retainer processing. Multi-jurisdictional capability is a documented differentiator, with firm attorneys admitted in at least 11 state bars and across multiple federal appellate and district courts.

The underlying technology stack is minimal and undisclosed beyond the ClientPay billing integration; the firm's product is human legal expertise, not software. No funding rounds, M&A activity, parent company, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or external investors are disclosed, consistent with a traditional partnership-style law firm operating on internal cash generation.
