Dressman, Benzinger & Lavelle has elected Patrick Hughes as a managing partner.
Hughes succeeds Bob Hoffer, who served in the role for the past seven years. Hughes, who will assume the role on Feb. 1, has worked at DBL for 30 years.
“DBL Law’s strength lies in its people and its commitment to clients,” Hughes said in a news release. “My focus is on continuity—building on the firm’s strong foundation and supporting the continued success of those we serve.”
Although Hoffer is stepping down as managing partner, he will continue practicing law at DBL, representing businesses in employment matters and assisting clients with estate planning.
Covington-based DBL Law is the largest law firm in Northern Kentucky, according to the Cincinnati Business Courier.
