Robinson+Cole’s Kathleen Dion Named to 2026 “Women in Business” Class
(May 6, 2026) – Robinson+Cole Education industry team chair Kathleen E. Dion was selected by the Hartford Business Journal for inclusion in its 2026 “Women in Business” recognition. Kate was among 29 honorees chosen by a panel of independent judges for demonstrating exceptional business acumen, confidence in themselves and their organizations, and a strong track record of professional leadership.
Kate was profiled in a special section of the Hartford Business Journal published on March 23, 2026, and was honored during the publication’s annual Women in Business Awards event on April 29.
In her profile, she reflected on her most meaningful professional accomplishment—advising clients with strategic judgment that aligns legal risk management with business goals—along with her long-term career goal of helping build a private-practice environment where women are supported, mentored, and positioned for sustainable success. Kate also discussed navigating the path to partnership at Robinson+Cole as her most significant career challenge and highlighted her commitment to community service through her board roles with Hartford International University for Religion and Peace and Junior Achievement of Southwest New England.
