Dinsmore Promotes 15 Attorneys to Partner, Makes New Appointments to Board of Directors
January, 2021 - Louisville, Kentucky
Dinsmore & Shohl LLP is pleased to announce that 15 attorneys were elected to partnership effective Jan. 1, 2021.
“I’m excited that these 15 impressive attorneys are proceeding to the next level of their careers here at Dinsmore, and I’m anxious to see what they’ll accomplish as partners,” said Dinsmore Chairman and Managing Partner George Vincent.
Many of the country’s leading corporations are increasingly reliant on Dinsmore to help build their businesses. This is fueling opportunities and the necessity for these partner promotions and the firm’s national expansion. Dinsmore’s partnership grew by nearly 25 percent over the course of 2020. It now stands at 381 partners across the country, including the 30 who joined the firm on Jan. 1 via merger with Wooden McLaughlin, which added three Indiana offices to Dinsmore’s national footprint.
