Overview

Munger, Tolles & Olson is a proven leader in crisis management and litigation. Since its founding in 1962, the firm has successfully resolved some of the most high-profile cases and investigations across a range of industries and institutions including energy, academia, financial services, media and entertainment, life sciences and technology, aerospace and defense.

MTO is nationally recognized for its strategic leadership and outside-the-box-thinking in crisis matters and has been consistently ranked on The American Lawyer’s A-List , including nine years in the top spot since 2004. Recognizing that no two crises are the same, the firm tailors each representation to prioritize the client by marshalling all required resources and expertise. From drawing on the experience of former government prosecutors to developing strategies for defending cases without a clear defense playbook, MTO has the knowledge and expertise to navigate novel challenges and simultaneously resolve actions and reputational threats.



In addition to its litigation in the US, MTO represents clients in cross-border disputes and investigations involving civil, criminal and regulatory matters. It has also handled a large number of investigations throughout Latin America, Europe and Asia.
