O'Melveny Corporate Social Responsibility

Veterans Initiative - O’Melveny Salute

“As the co-chair of O’Melveny Salute and a veteran myself, I have the privilege of leading an advisory group of more than 50 attorneys and staff, many of whom are veterans, to guide the firm’s veteran-focused efforts. Our approach includes on-campus recruiting and joining career fairs for the specific purpose of recruiting more veteran lawyers and staff to the firm, providing pro bono legal assistance to veterans and military families, and volunteering our time and resources to support veteran-specific non-profits. Considering the sacrifices our service members and their families have made for our freedom, O’Melveny Salute is our small way of expressing our appreciation.”

-Lee Blalack, Partner, Co-Chair of O’Melveny Salute
