Designed Exclusively for Oklahoma In-House Counsel Statewide
OKLAHOMA CITY – Crowe Dunlevy is pleased to announce the third "In-House Oklahoma" event of 2025, scheduled for Thursday, August 21, 2025 at Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club. In-House Oklahoma, a community of in-house leaders who share legal best-practices in a local, peer-to-peer, networking community, hosts nearly 800 in-house counsel representing over 400 companies across the state. The goal of the initiative is to build relationships and exchange best practices through strategic programming and networking hosted in Crowe Dunlevy's Oklahoma office cities: Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
In-House Oklahoma's mission is to be the choice organization for networking, best practice exchange, and legal department thought leadership among the state's in-house counsel.
"Crowe Dunlevy created In-House Oklahoma to be a relationship-building conduit for in-house counsel. Unlike similar organizations, only in-house counsel with significant leadership and management responsibilities in a corporation, non-profit organization or government agency are eligible for complimentary membership," says Crowe Dunlevy's William H. Hoch, a shareholder and director in the firm's Oklahoma City office and chairman of the firm's Marketing Committee.
Besides the host firm, there are no other law firms or other service/product providers invited or participating. This is intended exclusively for Oklahoma's in-house counsel.
"This year, due to the overwhelming enthusiasm for the program from in-house counsel, we are hosting four events instead of two as in our inaugural year – two in Oklahoma City and two in Tulsa," says Crowe Dunlevy's John Eix, the firm's Director of Business Development & Marketing.
The forum's next panel discussion event features the following panelists:
- Jay Evans, General Counsel, Revolution Resources (moderator)
- Philip Friesen, Deputy General Counsel, Gulfport Energy
- Kari Hoffhines, General Counsel, Mason Harrison Ratliff Enterprises
- Allison Petersen, General Counsel & SVP, Integris Health
- Ryan Prugh, General Counsel and Director of Legal Affairs, Dolese Bros. Co.
"In-house innovation comes from diverse sources, and the most direct path to solving the problems in-house leadership faces every day is through collaboration with fellow legal colleagues. Members are thought leaders who understand the power of collaboration," says Crowe Dunlevy's Adam W. Childers, the firm's President & CEO.
