Crowell ’s Orange County office has had a long-standing commitment to the surrounding community. A number of our attorneys serve as board members for local organizations, such as Project Youth OC, Orange County Bar Association–Diversity Equity & Inclusion Committee, Lavender Bar Association, Public Law Center, Thurgood Marshall Bar Association, United Way, Elder Law & Disability Rights Center, Western Center on Law and Poverty, Public Law Center, and Community Legal Aid SoCal, among many others.  

In addition to our pro bono efforts, our office is passionate about supporting the education of youth in Orange County. We also established the first endowed diversity scholarship with the University of California, Irvine School of Law (UCI Law). This scholarship will have the effective impact of an endowment in excess of $1 million dollars in an effort to help create a legal community that reflects the identities and backgrounds of the world at large. Additionally, the Orange County office works with Project Youth, where we mentor high school students and help guide them in making positive choices, building the foundation for a lifetime of opportunity and success.

We know that diversity of thought and talent is a catalyst to providing the best advice and service to our clients and the firm is committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity. Our Orange County office is resident to the first diverse female chair of Crowell’s executive committee, who was herself a 2016 fellow of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD). Our team includes many diverse lawyers who are leaders within the firm and the bar, such as a director for the Orange County Asian American Bar Association, a founding board member of the Orange County Lavender Bar Association, a board member-at-large at the Thurgood Marshall Bar Association, and chair of the firm’s LGBTQ + Affinity group. Many of our Orange County attorneys are also active members in the Hispanic National Bar Association, National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA), Orange County Coalition for Diversity in the Law, and Orange County Equality Coalition. Lawyers and professional staff in the Orange County office also established and spearheaded Crowell’s Social Justice Conversations, which are regular discussions focused on better understanding the experiences of marginalized, diverse groups in America—an initiative that has since expanded to several other Crowell offices in the U.S.
