PD&I Framework
Ogletree Deakins provides a clear competency framework that makes the rules of the road to success clear.

Success the OD Way
Our Success the ODWay Learning Guide articulates the firm’s cultural norms and describes five key success factors. It is a written rendering of the often unwritten playbook for success.

OD Pro Benchmarks
Our ODPro benchmarks describe the developmental milestones that associates need to reach at varying stages of their careers. Covering labor and employment, immigration, employee benefits, ERISA litigation, and class actions, ODPro makes expectations clear so that associates can take greater ownership of their careers.

Diversity Action Plan
Our Diversity Action Plan (DAP) encourages our attorneys to engage in activities that develop their cultural competence. These activities lead to greater dexterity around different cultures, social groups, and ethnicities.
Professional growth opportunities for all our attorneys in an inclusive work environment — this is what drives us.
