A Vision That Continues to Lead

Since 1986, Phillips Murrah has been driven by a singular purpose: delivering fresh insight, strategic thinking, and exceptional legal counsel that helps clients move forward with confidence. For four decades, we have combined sophisticated legal solutions with a personal, client-first approach, earning trust, building long-term relationships, and delivering results across generations.

Today, Phillips Murrah is a recognized regional force with talented attorneys in Oklahoma City and Dallas serving clients across industries and jurisdictions. Our Firm continues to evolve while staying true to the values that have guided us from the beginning.

Celebrating the Journey All Year Long

In celebration of our 40th anniversary, Phillips Murrah will spotlight the story behind the success. Throughout 2026, we will share our evolution through a year-long, four-part series, with each quarter highlighting a defining decade of growth, innovation, and momentum.

Beginning in early 2026, we will revisit Phillips Murrah’s founding and move forward through the years, showcasing the people, ideas, and milestones that shaped the Firm. Through engaging articles, interviews, and videos, we will bring our history to life, from the ambitions of our founding Shareholders to the modern legal powerhouse we are today.

A Culture Built to Last

Phillips Murrah was founded on the belief that great results begin with a strong culture. From day one, our founders created a workplace characterized by mutual support, consensus-building, open communication, and collective ownership for common goals. Their original motivation of “collegiality” remains a priority in our culture today, creating an environment where people are supported, heard, and empowered to grow.

That culture continues to attract top talent and fuel our success today. We combine deep legal experience with energy, innovation, and opportunity, offering meaningful career paths, leadership development, and a workplace where people thrive.

With competitive benefits and modern, welcoming offices in Oklahoma City and Dallas, Phillips Murrah continues to grow. Our commitment to our people has earned recognition as a Top Workplace for more than a decade and counting.

Inclusion That Moves the Profession Forward

Phillips Murrah is proud to lead with inclusion. One of our founding partners was a woman, setting the tone for a Firm that has long valued diverse perspectives and leadership.

Our progress in advancing women into senior roles has earned national recognition as a “Ceiling Smasher,” a designation awarded to firms that break through the “glass ceiling,” the invisible barriers that have historically limited women’s advancement into top leadership positions within the legal profession.

Phillips Murrah is also the only Oklahoma-based law firm certified under the Mansfield Rule, a national standard that measures whether firms intentionally and consistently consider women and underrepresented groups for leadership roles, equity partnership, and key decision-making opportunities. Mansfield certification focuses on fairness and access to opportunity, ensuring leadership decisions are thoughtful, inclusive, and transparent.

Together, these recognitions reinforce a culture that values talent, equity, and long-term leadership strength.

Deep Roots. Real Impact.

Community involvement has always been part of who we are. Phillips Murrah attorneys actively serve as leaders, volunteers, educators, and advocates, strengthening the communities where we live and work.

Our Firm also maintains long-standing philanthropic partnerships, including our eight-year Blocks for Bucks partnership with the Oklahoma City Thunder, which channels the excitement of the game into meaningful support for the Thunder Community Foundation.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate 40 years, Phillips Murrah is energized by the future. We remain focused on innovation, growth, and delivering exceptional value to our clients, while staying grounded in the relationships and values that define us.
