If the election had turned out differently, Karen Dunn wouldn’t be sitting at her desk at Boies Schiller Flexner in Washington. She’d be somewhere in the West Wing, at the red-hot center of the presidency.
Long rumored to be Hillary Clinton’s top choice as White House counsel, Dunn is a Clinton insider who, along with Ron Klain, served as the Democratic nominee’s debate coach for the presidential debates. At 41, Dunn has pretty much done it all for a lawyer in the fast lane of public service: associate counsel to President Barack Obama, assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, law clerk to Court of Appeals judge and Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland and Justice Stephen Breyer of the U. S. Supreme Court.
