From Its Humble Beginning as Three Attorneys Working in a High-Rise Building Garage, Newmeyer & Dillion Has Grown into One of Southern California’s Largest, Most Successful Law Firms
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (August 11, 2014) Tom Newmeyer and Greg Dillion founded Newmeyer & Dillion LLP in 1984 with the belief that lawyers were not simply professionals, but service professionals. The three-lawyer firm, which initially operated out of a temporary space in a high-rise building garage, has since grown into a robust business and real estate law firm with more than 70 lawyers in three offices serving more than 2,500 clients in more than 20 different industries.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Newmeyer & Dillion LLP is one of the fastest growing and most successful law firms in California, the fourth largest indigenous law firm and the 10th largest overall in Orange County. It has been able to attract top tier attorneys, clients and staff in large part because of the unique values, culture and vision of its founders.
“At Newmeyer & Dillion, being a professional means working hard while maintaining a sense of balance and a fulfilling life outside the firm,” Dillion said. “Our work culture revolves around core values like trust, respect and loyalty. We practice and expect common decency and courtesy in all of our team members, creating a firm of enthusiastic top-notch professionals practicing at the highest levels.”
The Orange County Business Journal recognized the firm as one of Orange County’s top best places to work for medium-size companies. Following the partners’ lead, Newmeyer & Dillion attorneys and staff members give back to the community, sitting on the boards of numerous charities and sponsoring many non-profit and fund-raising events. Newmeyer & Dillion has also launched a formal pro bono program that allows its attorneys hour-for-hour billable credit for pro bono hours.
Over the past three decades, Newmeyer & Dillion has built a stellar reputation in the industry. Building upon its success in Southern California, Newmeyer & Dillion expanded its services as a regional firm, opening a second office in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2005 and a third office in Las Vegas in 2013. The firm’s founders attribute its steady growth to the innovation and mental agility of its attorneys.
“Our creative attorneys think not only linearly and laterally but also spherically, crafting solutions fitted to the unique needs and goals of each client,” Newmeyer said. “Because Newmeyer & Dillion attorneys are liked, trusted and respected, they are effective in building loyal, dependable teams, resulting in higher professionalism, better work product, better results, and exemplary service to the client.
“Newmeyer & Dillion has focused exclusively on our clients’ success for 30 years,” he said. “That will never change.”
