In 2020, Eric Dinallo, chair of the insurance regulatory practice at Debevoise & Plimpton, took on an additional leadership role as the chair of the American Institute for Stuttering (AIS). AIS provides specialized therapy and community support for individuals who stutter. Dinallo has shared that his personal experience with stuttering has deeply influenced his approach to leadership and legal practice.

This narrative continues to shape perceptions and foster a supportive environment for those within the industry.
