Looking ahead to its next phase of growth, Dinsmore & Shohl LLP has reelected Joshua Lorentz as managing partner.
Since assuming the role in January 2023, Josh has guided a period of significant growth and momentum for the Firm, including three mergers, the opening of new offices in Orlando, Houston and Miami and an expanded footprint in Northeast Ohio. Alongside that growth, Josh continues to emphasize strengthening the Firm from within.
“One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is that we doubled down on our commitment to a strong culture,” Josh said. “Based on feedback from our attorneys and business professionals, we implemented additional strategic initiatives to ensure that we can be a place for everyone to develop and have a thriving career.”
Under Josh’s leadership, Dinsmore’s financial growth has enabled continued investment in people, practices and technology, all aligned with a long-term vision centered on shared success.
“I view our Firm as a group of people woven together with a common mission to serve our clients and communities,” Lorentz said. “When the Firm achieves success, our clients and communities should benefit from that success in real time. With that mindset, we constantly invest so that we can be better today than yesterday and even better tomorrow.”
Looking ahead to his new term, Josh said he is not only energized by the Firm’s position and trajectory, but also by the many leaders throughout the Firm. He noted that the Firm is healthy culturally and financially and has become a recognized destination for top attorney talent and exceptional clients. As more people learn about the Firm’s success for others, he believes Dinsmore will continue to grow and achieve.
He also highlighted the Firm’s recent rebrand and reimagined website as a reflection of Dinsmore’s evolution and next chapter.
“It is not a coincidence that we are rebranding at this time,” he said. “Everything we’ve done over the past three years and before to position our Firm to deliver excellent service and develop top notch talent has put us in a solid position as we look forward. In many ways, we are turning a corner, and what better way to announce it than with a brand that signifies our continuous endeavor of culture, service and improvement.”
Josh has been with Dinsmore for more than two decades and previously served as the Firm’s Intellectual Property Chair as well as Chair of the Finance Committee.
