Recognition celebrates Mykkeltvedt's career, commitment to advancing diversity in the legal profession
Bondurant Mixson & Elmore LLP proudly announces partner Tiana Mykkeltvedt has been recognized by Lawyers of Color’s (LoC) inaugural Wonderful Women list.
The list celebrates dynamic women attorneys in law firms, companies and government agencies across the U.S. who show promise in their careers and demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing diversity in the legal profession.
“Tiana is an experienced trial lawyer and effective advocate for our clients,” says Frank Lowrey, a partner on the firm’s diversity committee. “Alongside keen litigation skills, we benefit greatly from Tiana’s hard work and leadership in the management of our firm, including her important contributions to our efforts to achieve a more diverse team of lawyers and staff. She richly deserves this honor, and we're very proud of her.”
The honorees were selected through a thorough, two-pronged process. The selection committee, consisting of editorial staff, fellows and advisers, identified promising candidates. Nominations from mentors, peers and colleagues were also accepted, with special attention to candidates who are active in diversity pipeline initiatives.
LoC is a 501c3 nonprofit devoted to promoting diversity in the legal profession and advancing democracy and equality in marginalized communities.
Mykkeltvedt specializes in breach of contract, business torts, including complex fraud and civil RICO, and professional liability, as well as litigation pertaining to technology and software contracts, healthcare information technology and patent disputes.
In addition to her practice, she serves as Bondurant’s hiring partner, responsible for overseeing all aspects of the firm's recruiting program, and she also serves on the firm’s associate development committee.
