Don Leach Email & Phone Number

I retired from being a partner at Dinsmore & Shohl LLP at the end of 2019. While now limiting my client engagements, I remain active in the community. My practice focus was on the construction industry, where I leveraged more than three decades worth of experience with a thorough knowledge of the unique challenges facing the industry to help a variety of clients accomplish their objectives. Having assisted clients through both litigation and transactional matters, I tailored my approach to help clients reach their intended resolution in a cost-effective manner.A former president of the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio, where I received the Cornerstone Award, as well as a member of the Ohio Board of Building Standards, my familiarity and relationships within the industry allowed my clients to benefit from insight gained only through extensive experience and relationships. From drafting and negotiating contracts, to defending and prosecuting construction lien, contract and bond disputes, I have always tried to use a practical approach to ensure clients’ needs and goals are met in a timely, efficient manner.Additionally, I spent five years working for the president of the Ohio Senate and have served in a number of administrative and legislative roles, all of which provide me with valuable insight into those processes and their impact on the construction industry. For instance, I assisted in the drafting of Ohio’s mechanics’ lien law, and as a member of the Ohio Board of Building Standards, my work involves establishing Ohio building codes and regulating building officials.I also served two terms on Upper Arlington City Council and was mayor and president of council for five of those eight years.Additional information is at the Dinsmore website: https://www.dinsmore.com/donald-b-leach/
