Bloomberg news Walt Disney Co. has turned to O’Melveny & Myers and WilmerHale in its lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over what the entertainment company has called “a targeted campaign of government retaliation.”
Renowned litigator Daniel Petrocelli, chair of O’Melveny’s trial practice and the firm’s vice chair, is on Disney’s team. Petrocelli’s former client list includes former Enron Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Skilling, boxer Manny Pacquiao, rapper Travis Scott and former President Donald Trump.
Jonathan Hacker, chair of O’Melveny’s Supreme Court and appellate litigation practice, is also on Disney’s high-powered team, along with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr partner Alan Schoenfeld.

These are heavyweights from O'Melvany and Myers and Wilmer hale. I know these firms very well. Desantis is not in their league and he never practiced against people like this. He is in for a rude awakening. O only wish he was personally liable. The state of Florida lawyers are like Desantis lightweights. Dan Petrocelli of OJ fame is on the team.
