- #9Top Ten Diversity Ranking
We're proud of our top ten ranking on the American Lawyer's 2021 Diversity Scorecard, which records the average number of full-time equivalent minority attorneys at AmLaw 200 and NLJ 250 law firms.
- Big Wins
When two companies both catering to the rich and famous of Orange County tried to merge, and failed, litigation was bound to ensue. Thankfully, for one of the companies, Rebecca Gabroy was the trial lawyer.
- Litigation Powerhouse
Sometimes the defense is so strong that the case is gutted before it makes it to the jury. That is the result in a Santa Barbara matter where WSHB trial lawyer Frances O'Meara prevailed on her motion for a directed verdict following plaintiff’s case in chief.
- Diversity
Diversity of background, experience, race and ethnicity is a core value and one that deserves support at multiple levels-from recruitment, to training, to opportunity.

- Women in Law Scorecard
It is with great pride that we announce our top ten ranking on the National Law Journal’s Women in Law Scorecard for 2022. The Scorecard ranks the United States’ largest law firms by representation of women attorneys. Rankings are calculated by adding each firm’s percentage of total women lawyers with the percentage of partners who are women.
