O’Melveny Recognized by Leadership Council on Legal Diversity with Compass Award for Eighth Consecutive Year
October 1, 2024
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK—October 1, 2024—For the eighth consecutive year, O’Melveny has been recognized by the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (“LCLD”) with its “Compass Award” for expanding opportunities for underrepresented attorneys.
The firm also received the 2024 “Top Performer” award, which recognizes the organizations most engaged with LCLD’s programs and activities throughout the year.
LCLD established the Compass Award to recognize exemplary commitment to the Council’s goal of creating a truly diverse US legal profession. To qualify for the honor, firms must actively participate in the full range of LCLD programs designed to attract, inspire, and nurture a diverse generation of talent in the legal profession. The Compass Award recognizes those who (among other things) participate in the Fellows and Pathfinder Programs, an LCLD Pipeline Program, and those who attend the Annual Membership Meeting, the Leadership Summit, and/or submit a Leader’s Pledge.
As a founding member of LCLD, O’Melveny has demonstrated its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through a variety of initiatives including through our Leadership Mentoring Program which pairs members of O’Melveny’s three highest leadership committees – Management Team, Policy Committee, and Executive Team – with a selection of underrepresented mid-level associates for mentorship and advice.
At O’Melveny, we rise to the challenge of making the promise of DE&I real in every aspect of our firm, and we are honored to be recognized by LCLD for these impactful actions.
