Culture

We are deeply connected to what matters. Founded in 1955, we are a full-service law firm representing private and public companies in many industries, as well as nonprofit organizations and individuals. Based in the Midwest; DBL Law operates across America, with offices in Northern Kentucky, Louisville, and Cincinnati.

Our dedication to clients and communities extends to our employees as well. DBL Law is consistently recognized as one of the region’s top workplaces thanks to our team-oriented and inclusive culture. We believe in collaborative, trust-based relationships. We consider our clients both business partners and friends; their success is deeply personal to us.


DBL Law is consistently named one of the 100 Best Places To Work in Kentucky by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management (KYSHRM) and ClearPath Mutual Insurance Company and as a Top Workplace by the Cincinnati Enquirer.

DBL Law has an equity-minded team that reflects our clients and communities. DBL Law’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee works to improve diversity across race, ethnicity, gender, religion and sexual orientation through recruiting and retaining professionals with broad backgrounds, experiences, expertise and perspectives; increasing opportunities for collaboration and partnerships; providing personal and professional development opportunities and actively supporting organizations committed to social and racial equity.


The DBL Law Women of Excellence initiative connects, empowers, invests in, and advances women — within our team, our clients’ organizations, and our community. We proactively pursue opportunities to empower and salute women by identifying and serving in leadership roles, acting as mentors and coaches, and hosting professional networking and development opportunities, including our Annual Signature Event.

Each year, the DBL Law Women of Excellence hosts its Signature Event for clients and community leaders to connect and celebrate with one another over specially prepared food and entertainment.

Women of Excellence

Community

DBL Law’s mission focuses on making our communities better places in which to live and work. While a percentage of our firm’s annual budget is dedicated to supporting local nonprofits, our impact is truly driven by civic-minded attorneys and staff who continuously devote personal time leading and participating in fundraising activities and service.
