NAEUN RIM
Leader, Trial, White Collar and Investigations Practice
Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP
Naeun Rim is the leader of the Trial, White Collar and Investigations unit at Manatt, where she is a partner in the Los Angeles Office. An accomplished trial attorney, Rim has first-chaired numerous trials and arbitrations to successful conclusion in civil and criminal matters. She served as first-chair trial counsel for a movie executive accused of over a dozen felony violations of wire and mail fraud, and after years of tireless advocacy, she won acquittals and dismissals on all counts for a complete defense victory.
Rim also served as trial counsel for a Fortune 150 company in one of the largest criminal environmental trials in California history and helped the company avoid convictions on the most serious felonies after a four-month jury trial. In 2021, she successfully defended a public company in a civil case brought by 18 plaintiffs seeking $100 million in damages for contract and fraud allegations.
