Leonard C. Wolfe
Chair and CEO
Culture. Collegiality. Client service. As Dykema’s chair and CEO, Len Wolfe is laser-focused on these ideals. Every day, he works toward promoting growth built on service excellence and “delivering on our promise,” an ideal that applies to our clients, our colleagues, and the communities in which we live and practice.
Len is responsible for executing the firm’s strategic plan, which includes growth in new markets, combining with like-minded practices, scaling existing client work, improving the profitability and efficiencies of the law firm, and identifying, promoting, and developing new service offerings.
“People don’t fully appreciate how collaborative and forward-thinking Dykema is. We do a lot of great things here. This is the place you want to practice, and the firm you want representing you if you are a client.”
