Baker Hostetler announced today that Leah J. Domitrovic has joined the firm’s Litigation Group in its Chicago office. She comes to Baker Hostetler from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center where she served as Associate Chief Legal Officer.

Domitrovic’s practice focuses on complex commercial litigation—particularly the defense of publicly traded companies and their directors and officers in civil securities actions, shareholder derivative litigation, M&A litigation and related counseling, internal, governmental and regulatory investigations—and matters related to healthcare litigation, governance, compliance and risk management.

She has represented corporate and management clients in a wide range of matters arising from allegations of revenue misstatements, account irregularities and improprieties, inadequate or misleading public disclosures, conflicts of interest, breaches of fiduciary duty, professional malpractice and unfair competition. She also has represented clients in diverse industries, including automotive products, consumer services, education services, healthcare, insurance, Internet, metals and chemicals, retail and technology.

Domitrovic received her J.D. from the Law School of the University of Chicago.

“Leah is a tremendous addition to our national litigation team,” said W. Ray Whitman, chair of Baker Hostetler’s Litigation practice. “Her extensive experience enhances our securities litigation team and the firm’s deep bench of trial lawyers in Chicago and across the country.”

“We are pleased to welcome Leah to Baker Hostetler,” said Ronald S. Okada, partner in charge of the Chicago office. “Her experience, particularly in the healthcare industry, makes her an excellent addition to our very strong team of lawyers who handle a wide variety of complex commercial litigation matters.”
