Dykema elects Leonard Wolfe as chairman and CEO

Leonard C. Wolfe will become chairman and chief executive officer of Dykema for a three-year term commencing Jan. 1, 2021, and will move his principal office from Lansing to Chicago.

The firm’s 13 offices include one in Grand Rapids.

For more than 25 years, Wolfe has practiced government policy and regulatory law. He joined Dykema as a summer associate.

For the last six years, he has served as a twice-elected member of Dykema’s Executive Board, acting as board Liaison to the Diversity & Inclusion Committee for the past four years. He was Director of Dykema’s Regulated Industries Department and Leader of the Government Policy and Practice Group for nine years.
