As Phillips Murrah celebrates 40 years of service, we are highlighting the people whose work have helped shape the firm along the way. In this 40 for 40 profile, we spotlight Dawn Rahme and the perspective she brings to her role and to the firm’s culture.
When Dawn joined Phillips Murrah, she never imagined that she would one day serve as President of the firm. She was focused on building her practice and learning from the attorneys around her. Today, she has spent more than half of the firm’s 40 years here, with a front-row seat to significant change and growth.
What Dawn has always enjoyed most about her practice is getting to know her clients and their businesses. Much of her work involves helping business owners navigate important decisions, whether that is buying or selling a business, planning for the next generation, or working through a difficult issue. It is rewarding to build those relationships over time and to know that clients trust her to help with decisions that matter deeply to them. As her career has evolved, she has also found it especially rewarding to mentor younger attorneys and watch them grow in their own careers.
Having seen the firm evolve, Dawn points to one commitment that has remained consistent: the firm’s dedication to its people and its clients. Phillips Murrah has grown quite a bit since she joined, but it has always valued relationships, both within the firm and with the people it represents. She believes that is a big part of why so many attorneys have spent much of their careers here, and she wants to make sure the firm preserves this culture as it continues to grow.
Looking back, Dawn has a real appreciation for the people who built the firm and the opportunities they created for everyone who followed. Forty years is something to be proud of, she says, but she is just as excited about where the firm goes from here.
