George is the former Managing Partner of Dinsmore. His understanding of business and the drivers behind growth and profitability, coupled with his background in political party leadership, made him a valuable resource to his clients while leading Dinsmore. For more than four decades, he counseled businesses with regard to strategic growth, through acquisitions, mergers and funding and regulatory oversight, whether by state and local authorities or nationally by agencies such as the SEC or FTC.
Serving as Managing Partner from 2007 to 2022, George drove Dinsmore’s significant expansion and led the Firm’s strategic efforts. During George’s tenure, Dinsmore absorbed seven firms through merger and opened 18 new office locations. He also served as Chairman of the Firm’s Board of Directors, as well as serving as Chair of numerous area business and community organizations.
Widely respected as a corporate attorney, clients always viewed George as a fair-minded, success-oriented and accessible business connector. Recognized by clients and the Firm as a natural leader, his diligent and thoughtful approach to solving clients’ needs led to what they often refer to as a “special relationship” lasting decades and founded on trust, success, results and reliability.
In August 2025, George was appointed Secretary and General Counsel of The Kroger Co., a capstone role that reflects the strength of the relationships and results he has built throughout his distinguished legal career at Dinsmore.
