Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Ogletree Deakins has a long-standing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). It is not only a moral imperative, it is one of our core values and is essential to the growth and success of our firm and the quality of service we provide to our clients. DEI connects us to the communities in which we live and work and contributes to a more just society. We want to create an environment that fosters inclusion, collaboration, creativity, and stability for our attorneys and staff. Our people matter. Their stories matter. And our performance is stronger because of it. We are better together.
