During his career at Walgreens, Dwayne served as Vice President and Associate General Counsel, Senior Director and Managing Counsel, and Senior Attorney, building and leading teams of legal professionals across the company’s legal and compliance functions. He developed an exceptional record of resolving high-stakes government enforcement actions — reducing or eliminating penalties, directing internal compliance investigations, and managing regulatory risk on behalf of one of the nation’s largest pharmacy operators.
Dwayne’s practice at Barnes & Thornburg focuses on healthcare regulatory strategy, pharmacy compliance, and enforcement resolution. His hands-on pharmacy experience gives him a firsthand understanding of the clinical and operational realities his clients face — enabling him to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical compliance programs and to partner effectively with executives, team leaders, and field personnel on matters that cut across legal, business, and operational lines.
