Kegler Brown is proud to announce that Robert Dove, chair of the firm’s Gaming + Sports Betting practice, has been selected to join the Leadership Columbus Signature Program Class of 2027.

Leadership Columbus is one of Central Ohio’s most respected leadership development programs, with a legacy dating back to 1974. The program equips emerging and established leaders with the knowledge, connections, and skills to make meaningful contributions to the Columbus community. Robert is one of 65 participants selected this year for a curriculum centered on civic engagement, regional problem-solving, and a team-based community impact project.

Robert represents clients across highly regulated industries, including fantasy sports operators, sports gaming proprietors, suppliers, and management services providers, as well as retail energy providers and hospitality businesses. His practice spans Energy + Environment, Government Affairs, Complex Commercial Litigation, and Privacy + Data Responsibility, and he appears regularly before the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, the Ohio Power Siting Board, and the Ohio Casino Control Commission. Robert is known for translating complicated regulatory landscapes into practical direction his clients can act on.

“Robert has built a practice around helping clients work through the kind of complex, high-stakes issues that shape industries and communities alike,” said Steve Barsotti, Kegler Brown’s managing director. “He brings that same thoughtfulness to his work outside the firm, and we are proud to see him take on this commitment to Central Ohio.”
