Better Judgement Comes from Broader Perspectives
At O’Hagan Meyer, we believe that different perspectives strengthen our firm and our ability to serve clients. We recognize that clients are not one-size-fits-all, and neither are we. By welcoming attorneys, staff, and other professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, and abilities, we build strong teams that think more creatively and collaborate more effectively. We are deliberate about creating an environment where every individual feels valued and understand that fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging empowers our attorneys, leading to better outcomes for clients.
Purposeful Recruiting
We are committed to attracting and retaining professionals who reflect the diverse clients and communities we serve. To support this goal, the firm actively participates in a variety of organizations and affinity groups that promote career development and advancement within the legal profession, helping us cultivate a broad and inclusive candidate pool. These relationships also create meaningful opportunities to connect with local law schools and emerging talent. Our culture is grounded in trust, mentorship, and collaboration, fostering an environment where talented professionals can make meaningful contributions, advance their careers, and grow as leaders.
We apply the same intentional mindset to recruiting our professional support staff, recognizing that building a culture of diversity, inclusion, and belonging extends across every level of the firm.
Personalized Career Development
We take a thoughtful and deliberate approach to developing and supporting our legal and professional teams to help them grow and succeed. Our one-on-one mentoring program connects attorneys across different backgrounds and practices to provide support and guidance, strengthen relationships, and encourage knowledge-sharing. A monthly cross-firm professional development series, OM College, features partners from different offices and practices sharing insights on the business and art of law.
Our commitment to inclusion extends to those who have chosen to follow a non-traditional career trajectory. We support flexible paths towards career advancement that allow attorneys to balance professional growth with personal responsibilities.

"I have been a part of the OM family for six years and am genuinely grateful for how deeply the Firm has invested in my growth — both as a lawyer and as a person. From day one, I have felt supported, encouraged, and valued, which has made all the difference in growing my practice while supporting junior attorneys. Ultimately, OM’s “secret sauce” is its people — thoughtful, driven professionals who care about each other and the impact we make together."
Emily Hoskins
"OM provides access to many resources to ensure growth as an attorney and to maintain balance as a human being. Not to mention the wealth of knowledge and experience that comes with an ever-growing nationwide firm and the mentorship in marketing and professional development. OM is the kind of firm where you actually get to learn and practice how to be an effective attorney early in your career."

"As an associate in the Data Privacy & Cybersecurity group, I’ve received exceptional professional and personal support from day one and immediately felt like part of the O’Hagan Meyer team. The firm has shown a strong commitment to my growth, offering hands-on experience with challenging matters and opportunities to attend workshops and conferences. In an industry that often prioritizes profits, O’Hagan Meyer’s dedication to developing young attorneys stands out. I’m grateful to be here and excited about my future with the firm."
Iman Eikram
"In my time here, O’Hagan Meyer has consistently invested in my development through meaningful training and guidance to handle cases independently. As I grow my practice, I’ve appreciated how the firm promotes autonomy while ensuring support is available. My feedback is taken seriously, as we share the goal to grow as professionals. Through mentoring, feedback, and client interaction, I’ve built relationships and developed skills. The firm’s collaborative, respectful culture fosters both professional growth and a strong sense of community."
Serving Our Communities
Leading through service is a key component of our firm’s success. Through our pro bono program, we offer our attorneys the chance to hone their legal skills and meaningfully participate in the pursuit of justice and equality in service to others. This work helps connect us with members of our communities and provides high-quality legal services to individuals and organizations who lack resources and access. We are proud to support the communities where we live and work by dedicating our time and resources to a variety of important initiatives, including legal and advocacy, arts and culture, health and disability support, community and social services, and professional leadership organizations.
Committed to Action
We know that building a truly inclusive firm is ongoing work. We remain committed to fostering a culture of transparency, inclusion, and belonging to better serve our clients and communities because we know that a firm where all professionals can thrive is a firm that delivers better outcomes for everyone it serves.
