Carolyn J. Johnsen Member Dickinson Wright PLLC dickinsonwright.com
Practice areas: Bankruptcy, restructuring and creditors’ rights; commercial transactions; lender litigation and bankruptcy; mergers and acquisitions Background: Johnsen is a partner in the 400-person national law firm of Dickinson Wright. Her practice focuses on business restructurings and creating complex plans, strategies and structures for multi-million dollar companies in multiple industries. She serves on the Smithsonian Libraries Board in Washington D.C. and cochairs the national alumnae of the Direct Women Board Institute dedicated to advancing women to serve on corporate boards. Toughest challenge: “Overcoming my own stereotypes of gender to realize there is only one game and the best person can prevail regardless of gender. I did not want to be the best woman, I wanted to be the best, period.” Key to success: “I am fearless about trying. I never quit. I believe in the utmost integrity, fairness and respect to all. I credit my success to the people who surround and support me and they also know that despite my hard work and 3:00 a.m. e-mails, I have never missed a party.”
