Firm Goverance
MTO’s lawyers work in a democratic and egalitarian environment. The firm’s major decisions are made by consensus, and all attorneys are encouraged to participate in firm governance. The firm is governed by more than 25 committees, the diversity of which reflects the diversity of the firm. For example, 31 percent of the firm's policy committee members are women and 25 percent are minorities. MTO's managing partner, Sandra Seville-Jones, is a woman; her predecessor, Bart Williams, is African American. MTO had one of the first women partners in Los Angeles, and we were one of the first major law firms in the United States to have a gay managing partner.
