Robert J. Bohner, Jr.
Attorney at Duane Morris from 1991-1999
Currently Vice President & Senior Counsel at Lincoln Financial Group
Q: What is your practice area at Lincoln Financial Group?
Q: What did you learn at Duane Morris as an associate in the Employment and Immigration Practice Group?
A: I had several mentors, including Bruce Kasten, Tom Servodidio, Jane Dalton and former Duane Morris partner Michael Baylson. Tom taught me to ask a lot of questions and get all of the facts and documents. We were always expected to stay up-to-date in the employment and labor field, to carry the law in our heads.
Q: What interested you about the job when you first heard about it?
A: A headhunter called me while I was working in-house at the University of Pennsylvania. I found Lincoln Financial to be a company on the rise. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to go into a different industry. I was looking for a new challenge. The people were fantastic.
What I enjoy most about my job now is that I can solve problems before they pop up. Ultimately, a lawyer's job is to be a problem solver. That's what I learned first at Duane Morris.
Q: What do you enjoy doing when you're not working?
A: Spending time with my family - especially ferrying my three kids. I used to coach them in soccer. My wife coaches them in lacrosse. I volunteer my time with my church. I try to sprinkle a little golf in, too. Professionally, I'm a member of the Association of Corporate Counsel.
