January 16, 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES—January 16, 2024—O’Melveny announced today that leading restructuring lawyer Julian Gurule has joined the firm’s Los Angeles office as a partner in the Restructuring Practice Group, bolstering the team’s West Coast roster and expanding its formidable national-level restructuring capabilities.
For more than 16 years, Gurule has guided clients through the full range of distressed and bankruptcy matters—from in-court and out-of-court restructurings to bankruptcy and distressed financings, M&A, and litigation. His practice spans an array of industries that align with O’Melveny’s strengths, including entertainment, hospitality, health care, energy, and manufacturing. He also has extensive experience in the financial services, corporate finance, and private equity sectors.
Gurule comes to O’Melveny from the Los Angeles office of Buchalter, where he served as co-chair of that firm’s Insolvency & Financial Law Group. His clients include private equity funds and other distressed investors, secured and unsecured creditors, debtors, official creditors’ committees, administrative agents, indenture trustees, and purchasers of distressed assets. Gurule’s experience with both debtor- and creditor-side engagements complements O’Melveny’s unique, full-service Restructuring Practice Group, which acts on all sides of bankruptcy and restructuring transactions.
“We are delighted to welcome Julian to O’Melveny and to our award-winning Restructuring Team,” said O’Melveny chair Bradley J. Butwin. “With his versatile skillset and track record of success, Julian enhances our ability to serve our clients on the West Coast in strategically important areas, especially in the media and entertainment, energy, and financial services arenas. It is a pleasure to welcome him aboard.”
“I’m excited to join O’Melveny’s Los Angeles office,” said Gurule. “The firm has a premier global platform, a reputation for superior client service, and a collegial, collaborative culture. I look forward to working with my new colleagues on O’Melveny’s Restructuring Team and providing my clients with all of the industry-leading benefits O’Melveny has to offer in this increasingly challenging credit cycle.”
Gurule earned his J.D. from UCLA School of Law and his B.A. cum laude from the University of Washington. He is a member of the American Bankruptcy Institute, the Hispanic National Bar Association, and the Los Angeles County Bar Association, for which he has served on the Diversity in the Profession Committee.
