Employee Networks

O’Melveny has over 30 Employee Networks open to all around the globe focused on identity, including age/stage, first generation, gender, LGBTQ+, parenting, race/ethnicity, and religion.

The Networks welcome all colleagues to join in their activities, which include organizing professional development events, doing community outreach, assisting with recruiting, and enjoying social functions.

DE&I Programming

Alongside routine and timely programming from our 30+ Employee Networks, on an annual basis, O’Melveny commemorates Embracing Diversity and Values Day. On this day, the entire firm celebrates the critical importance of diversity and inclusion to our core values.

Each office marks the day by organizing its own slate of events, presentations, and team activities tailored to issues central to its community. A past theme, AMPLIFY, sought to elevate the experiences of individuals with different backgrounds and to engage in specific allyship across difference.

DE&I Education

At O’Melveny we strive to learn, grow, and evolve with the world around us.

Every year we host inclusivity training and conversations on a variety of topics, such as anti-harassment. In 2025, topics include working across generational differences.
