For Kate N. Dodoo, an Oklahoma native, the practice of law has never been about transactions — it has always been about partnership. Over two decades into a career spanning the public and private sectors, Kate is a Shareholder at McAfee & Taft, where she leads the Appellate and Immigration & Compliance Practice Groups. Licensed in both Oklahoma and Texas, she guides local enterprises, major U.S. corporations with global footprints, and foreign-owned companies operating stateside through some of their most consequential legal moments — civil appellate litigation and business immigration, including I-9 and worksite compliance. What sets Kate apart is her conviction that great lawyering begins with great listening — and that behind every business are people making high-stakes decisions. She treats clients as business partners, not case files, taking the time to understand their goals before charting a path to achieve them. It is an approach that has earned her recognition in The Best Lawyers in America for commercial litigation, the Journal Record’s Leadership in Law, and 405 Magazine’s Top Attorneys for Appellate and Immigration Law. Beyond her practice, Kate is invested in shaping the profession itself. She serves as an elected Member-at-Large on the Oklahoma Bar Association Board of Governors, Treasurer of the OBA Bench
and Bar Committee, and Governor-Liaison to the OBA Law School Committee — roles that reflect a career-long commitment to the legal community she calls home.
