Firm Profile

Leaders in Creating Legal Solutions

With 182 attorneys representing clients throughout the United States and internationally, McAfee & Taft is Oklahoma's largest law firm. Since our inception in 1952, McAfee & Taft has distinguished itself by being an industry leader in developing innovative legal solutions for business. In the early 1950’s, founder Kenneth E. McAfee was instrumental in registering the nation’s first drilling fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A few years later, co-founder Richard G. Taft filed the first registration statement of an international drilling fund.

The tradition of providing innovative and aggressive legal representation continues to this day. For nearly 60 years, clients have counted on McAfee & Taft’s multi-disciplinary approach to problem-solving, along with the depth and talent of its dedicated attorneys and support staff, to create comprehensive, customized legal solutions.

By rigorously maintaining the highest standards of legal excellence, McAfee & Taft has grown to become one of the most respected full-service business practice law firms in the region. In fact, McAfee & Taft was named to the 2011 Go-To Law Firms of the World's Leading Companies published by ALM, the nation’s leading legal journalism and information company. The firm also earned top marks in the most recent edition of the Chambers USA Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, and the only Oklahoma firm to be top-ranked in all five major areas of legal practice, and 48 of the firm’s attorneys – the most of any law firm in Oklahoma – were honored as leading lawyers in their respective practice. Forty-five McAfee & Taft attorneys are included in the current edition of Oklahoma Super Lawyers and 15 attorneys have been named "Oklahoma Rising Stars". A record 91 McAfee & Taft attorneys are included in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, more than any other Oklahoma firm.

McAfee & Taft is also well-positioned to serve and protect the complex worldwide interests of its clients through its affiliations with TerraLex® and L2B Aviation, two exclusive international networks of independent law firms. The firm is also the exclusive member firm representing Oklahoma in the Employers Counsel Network and the National Workers' Compensation Defense Network.

Clifford C. Dougherty III	Cliff Dougherty is a very fine lawyer. He has been a huge help to us on copyright, trademark, and patent issues. He certainly knows the field. He always guides us to affordable and cost-effective solutions. He has given us great advice many times. I would recommend him to anyone needing aid in this area. Jack E. Counts Jr. Candid Color Systems
Elizabeth Scott Wood	Elizabeth Wood helps us with a variety of employment-related matters, including employment contracts, employee relations issues, discrimination charges, workplace investigations, employment policy updates, and benefits and compensation compliance issues. We value her knowledge and experience immensely. Working with Elizabeth Wood is a joy because she is also caring, accessible, and quick to respond to our needs. Beverly M. Barrett Oklahoma Heart Hospital
Frank D. Hill	Frank D. Hill is the ultimate professional real estate lawyer. He is well versed in the law but also a deal maker and someone who understands the economics of the deal. We highly recommend him. Klaholt P. Kimker Devon Energy Corporation

Jeff Todd	Jeff has been representing our firm and clients for many years now. He has been a great advocate in the unique and complicated business of federal crop insurance. This insurance is tricky in that it is a federal program with a private delivery system. Obviously, sometimes public and private interests conflict, and Jeff is the best I have ever found in resolving these conflicting interests and protecting both our agency and clients. I have also referred many of my producers to him, who had other legal issues such as mineral leases, easement conflicts, contract disputes, etc. Jeff is one of the best agricultural litigators I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He has a well-founded background in both farming and ranching that definitely gives my clients an advantage in their disputes. Max Thomas Silveus Crop Insurance
John A. Kenney	Mr. Kenney has served my firm as the lead attorney on a complex drawn out matter. He was kind enough in the very beginning to lay out frankly how he saw the path ahead, warning me of the likely ups and downs of the case. This did help with understanding the process and prepared me to be steady during the difficult periods. Since the matter is now settled, I can say with complete knowledge that he never comprised his ethics and was always diligent in preparation. All matters were well presented and supported. He kept me informed and always responded to my requests for additional information. He was very patient with helping me understand the process and legal options. Mr. Kenney was knowledgeable and experienced. He also assembled a good team to support his efforts. I have full confidence that he and his team provide complete, honest, and competent representation. Dave L. Younge Flex-Ability Concepts, LLC
Mark D. Christiansen	Mark Christiansen is the finest energy lawyer in the State of Oklahoma, bar none.

Clark Musser Alpine Energy
Mary Ellen Ternes	It was extremely convenient having a degreed chemical engineer as our attorney. It saved countless hours of time and trouble trying to explain how pollutants are calculated. Kathy Mershon SGL Carbon
	Mary Ellen came in at a time of doom and gloom. She was able to get both state and federal entities to back off enforcement action and discuss meaningful resolution to a joint problem. The end result was a new compliant permit and a positive relationship with both state and federal. Gary Sackman W&W Steel
Michael E. Joseph	Michael E. Joseph has been an outstanding advocate for our work. Michael Anderson Presbyterian Health Foundation
	He has provided us with nothing short of the highest level of legal advice, and many times he has gone beyond what one would normally attribute to legal services. When he felt we needed additional legal opinions, he did not hesitate to refer us to the appropriate attorney. He has always been extremely timely in his responses to us and when he could not get to a matter immediately, he let us know. He is well thought of throughout the community in legal circles as well as through his civic activities. He has the personal and professional qualities and ethics that I admire, and that truly makes him a person we should all aspire to be like. He is the true servant leader and cares greatly about his community. His deeds speak volumes about his continued commitment to our community. Rodney Bivens Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma
	Mike Joseph is extremely responsive. He is always looking out for our interest. He knows franchise law very well and inspires your confidence in him. I also feel that he is very concerned about the cost effectiveness of the things we do with him. I have recommended him to many people. Jack E. Counts Jr. Candid Color Systems
	Mike Joseph and other attorneys at McAfee&Taft have been our attorneys for over 20 years. We rely heavily on their advice and counsel. Mike is knowledgeable and responsive. We cannot say enough good things about him and would highly recommend him to anyone in the healthcare industry. Denise Suttles Oklahoma City Clinic
	Mr. Joseph is a knowledgeable lawyer who is able to quickly understand complex situations and provide timely valued advice. He also is a true professional and is dedicated to his community. Anonymous
Myrna S. Latham	Myrna Latham is an excellent construction lawyer and someone we would recommend. Klaholt P. Kimker Devon Energy Corporation
Patricia A. Rogers	It has been my pleasure to have worked with Ms. Rogers for over a decade. I have observed her moving from a newly licensed status to partnership status. She has managed her practice with professionalism and timeliness. Anonymous
	Ms. Rogers answers her own phone and she has never asked me to allow her to call me back later. Her guidance in health care matters has been most valuable to our organization. Anonymous
Peter T. Van Dyke	Pete's expertise in labor and employment law is second to none. Dave Martin Sysco Oklahoma, LLC
Rachel Blue	Rachel has done a very good job at handling our trademark issues for many years. She is efficient and cost effective, and we continue to use her services even though we have moved our headquarters to another state. Jeffrey Bednar Citgo
