O’Melveny & Myers has strengthened its ranks by welcoming Benjamin Aronson as a partner. Aronson will join the firm’s general litigation practice group and the entertainment, sports, and media industry group. His addition to the firm marks a significant step in enhancing its capabilities in sports-related legal matters.
Aronson, who previously served as Vice President and Assistant General Counsel at the National Basketball Association (NBA), brings a wealth of experience to his new role at O’Melveny. At the NBA, Aronson oversaw global commercial litigation, offering support and advice to the general counsels of various teams across the league. This extensive experience is likely to prove invaluable as he embarks on representing O’Melveny’s clients in professional and collegiate sports-related litigation, as well as in investigations and consumer class actions.
Beyond litigation, Aronson will also advise clients on matters pertaining to name, image, and likeness (NIL), crisis and risk management, and data privacy concerns. His expertise is expected to strengthen O’Melveny’s already robust service offerings in these areas. For more details, the firm has issued a press release further outlining Aronson’s role and experience.
