Graydon Partner, Tom Prewitt, who knows Tobergte from his board service at Tri-ED and who worked to bring him to the firm, said, “No one in this legal market knows economic development better than Dan Tobergte, period.” Added Jack Greiner, who recently succeeded Prewitt as Managing Partner, “Dan is the rare specialty talent who can catalyze a practice area. He undoubtedly brings us new capabilities, and we provide him with other complimentary capabilities that combine to create a really special offering for clients.”

Dan will coordinate the efforts of a team of eight Graydon attorneys that offer extensive economic development services from site selection and organizational planning to financing and incentives, all designed to enhance negotiation leverage, minimize business costs, and offer compliance management for incentives.

Dan is also a graduate of the Kentucky Institute for Economic Development and University of Oklahoma Economic Development Institute. Dan is a Certified Economic Developer through the International Economic Development Council and is licensed to practice law in Kentucky.
