Dorn hopes to gain further development of leadership skills “by delving into topics such as rainmaking, executive coaching, branding, career strategy, as well as effective communication techniques.  I also hope to better know and learn from the incredible group of top Ohio women lawyers that I am honored to be a part of,” said Dorn.

Dorn is a member of Dinsmore’s litigation practice and focuses on assisting lawyers with ethics issues, including providing confidential ethics consultations and opinions and comprehensive representation in disciplinary actions and bar admission matters.
