Community Investment
For O’Melveny, “investing in the community” means partnership—partnership that reaches beyond our own employees to embrace our global alumni network, friends of the firm, and our clients. This broad definition of community investment brought to life the concept of “CSR + ESG = Sustainability at O’Melveny.”
CSR and ESG at O’Melveny stretches well beyond a typical law firm’s commitment to pro bono legal services and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts to include community investment that is aligned with our CSR/ESG pillars: access to education, health care, and justice; supporting environmental sustainability; engaging in disaster relief; and providing veteran support.
O’Melveny supports more than 200 nonprofits and non-governmental organizations around the globe each year. Whether by supporting rebuilding efforts in disaster-hit zones, fighting to secure the rights of animals, donating to organizations fighting for racial justice, or serving on boards of organizations making a positive impact, O’Melveny delivers on its century-old commitment to fully embrace its communities.
