OVERVIEW

As the former managing partner of Barnes & Thornburg from 2014-2022, Bob Grand led the firm’s strategic development and execution of firmwide internal and external goals. He now focuses his practice on government relations.

Bob has four continuous decades of government relations practice, where he represents public and private clients before state and federal agencies and Congress. Bob is a leader of character who cares deeply about what is important to his colleagues at all levels and the clients they represent.

An active listener and conscientious problem-solver, Bob leads by example and is appreciated for his ability to identify bigger picture opportunities that maximize individual and firmwide potential.  

In the community, Bob served as administrative assistant to Indiana Lt. Gov. Bob Orr (1979-1981) and also served in that role for Orr when he became governor of Indiana (1981-1982). He was treasurer of Friends of Dick Lugar (1987-2007), served as the Bush-Cheney finance chairman for Indiana, and was a member of the 2000 Bush-Cheney recount team in Palm Beach County, Florida. Notably, Bob also worked as a senior member of the campaign finance group for the Trump-Pence campaign.
