The newly opened office complex Phillips Murrah calls home is located in the vibrant Midtown District, one mile north of Oklahoma City’s downtown business core. It includes a four-level public parking garage south of the building and features leasable restaurant, retail, and office space on the lower two floors.
If you’ve spent any time in Oklahoma City’s Midtown District lately, you’ve undoubtedly witnessed the rise of a sleek, modern office building emerging from what was once a bare grass field along Northwest 10th Street between Walker and Hudson Avenues. The eye-catching new office complex has been the talk of the town over the past year as it grew into a striking landmark in one of OKC’s liveliest and most dynamic neighborhoods.
On July 22, the law firm of Phillips Murrah officially takes residence in their stunning new headquarters at 424 N.W. 10th St., just a mile north of their previous location. Produced by Midtown’s go-to team, Fitzsimmons Architects and Lingo Construction, Phillips Murrah occupies the top three floors of the modern five-story building, artfully encased in glass, offering breathtaking, floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of the city. Attorneys will welcome clients into grand, modern open spaces and state-of-the-art conference rooms custom designed to reflect the innovative character of the law firm and its workplace culture.
Departing from typical corporate tradition, Phillips Murrah chose to utilize the building’s corner offices as collaborative work and wellness spaces, including walking workstations and a tranquil yoga room. One of the most exciting features of the new building is Phillips Murrah’s exclusive, north-south facing patio. This spacious area offers a large fireplace, comfortable seating, and a breathtaking view of the OKC skyline, perfect for a change of workplace scenery, an open-air respite, or an exciting event location.
“We are thrilled to announce our move to our new office in the heart of Midtown,” said Dawn M. Rahme, President and Managing Partner of Phillips Murrah. “This state-of-the-art space reflects our commitment to innovation and excellence as we continue to serve our clients with the dedication and expertise that has defined our firm for the past 38 years. Our new office is designed to foster collaboration and creativity, embodying the forward-thinking spirit that drives our practice.”

Embracing Change and New Leadership
Phillips Murrah’s relocation follows another significant milestone. At the beginning of 2023, Dawn was elected as Phillips Murrah’s first new President and Managing Partner in two decades, and she is the first woman to hold this position. Driven by her commitment to hard work, integrity, and passion, Dawn has leveraged her extensive experience and proven leadership ability to advance the law firm’s vision and objectives.
The excitement doesn’t end with the relocation. Phillips Murrah’s long-time Executive Director, Michelle Munda, announced her retirement after 36 years of exceptional leadership. She will continue through the end of the year, ensuring a smooth transition as Carrie Palmer steps into the role, bringing with her extensive experience in the legal field.
“I am thrilled to join Phillips Murrah,” Carrie said. “The new, vibrant building reflects the youthful energy and dynamism of the Firm.”
A Rich History of Growth
Phillips Murrah is a stalwart of the legal community whose journey began 38 years ago as a small firm that quickly gained recognition for its expertise and professionalism. Phillips Murrah’s dedication to providing exceptional legal service fueled steady growth.
Phillips Murrah brings their workplace culture to the next level with a large, luxurious patio that is exclusive to the law firm. The outdoor space provides a social gathering area with a gorgeous view of downtown to the south and Midtown to the north.
Established in the Columbus Square building on N.W. 63rd St. in 1986, Phillips Murrah continued expanding until the law firm outgrew the space. That prompted a move to Leadership Square in 1992 and to Corporate Tower in 2006, both located in OKC’s Central Business District. In 2018, Phillips Murrah also opened an office in Dallas to serve the needs of Texas clients, which fit perfectly with the law firm’s overall growth strategy.
Now, Phillips Murrah’s relocation to Midtown marks a new chapter in their ongoing story of growth, innovation, and commitment to the community. Phillips Murrah is excited about the future and looks forward to welcoming clients to their new location and continuing to build strong, lasting relationships.
