Overview
We value the strength that women, minority and LGBTQ lawyers add to the fabric of our firm. Our diversity committee focuses on how to best foster the recruiting, retention and professional development of attorneys, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. The committee evaluates how diversity makes us a better firm, and how it may best be used to serve the firm’s existing clients and develop relationships with potential new clients. It also seeks to help retain and advance the careers of women and minority lawyers within the firm.
Our diversity and recruitment committees implemented and now administer the Crowe Dunlevy Diversity Scholars Program at the University of Oklahoma College of Law and the University of Tulsa College of Law. These programs provide financial support for diverse law students who establish need and show promise of enhancing our profession with their service. We also partners with local public schools to encourage diverse students to consider careers in the legal profession.
At Crowe Dunlevy, our deeply rooted commitment to diversity and inclusion is driven by a desire to reflect the community we serve. We recognize that our century-long success is a natural byproduct of our ongoing endeavor to maintain a collegial and cohesive work environment through recognition that in the end our differences are what make us the same.

Diversity Committee Chair
During the fall, the firm hosts an annual Diversity Mixer at our offices in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, welcoming law students from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, the University of Tulsa College of Law, and Oklahoma City University School of Law. The event serves as an opportunity for aspiring attorneys to network with industry professionals and celebrate diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) in the legal profession.
