O’Melveny & Myers has hired Irwin Raij, co-chair of the sports industry team at Foley & Lardner, as a partner and co-chair of its sports industry group.

“This was the right fit at the right time,” said Raij in an interview Monday, explaining his decision to leave Foley & Lardner after 15 years. “[At O’Melveny] I’ll be part of something that has a bit of a broader vision for where we can build out a sports practice.”
