Diversity

O’Melveny is proud of its longstanding commitment to diversity and to promoting equal opportunities for all of our lawyers and staff. Our dedication is prominently reflected in the Firm’s Values Statement, in which we pledge to achieve “uncompromising excellence” by, among other things, “identifying superior and diverse lawyers,” and is reflected in our standing “Statement on Commitment to Diversity.”

While we are pleased that the Firm's initiatives in this area consistently earn high ratings from our own employees, as well as from outside arbiters, we remain vigilant in our efforts. We continue to pursue aggressively our five-year Diversity Strategic Plan, developed through a comprehensive assessment of our policies and with input from a broad cross-section of our employees. As further evidence of the critical role diversity plays in all aspects of Firm operations, O'Melveny has incorporated the Diversity Plan into the Firmwide Strategy and Goals, codifying it as one of the Firm’s ongoing strategic priorities.
