‍

As Head of Practice Operations at Rudick Law Group, she brings that same instinct to a firm operating at the frontier of cannabis, psychedelic medicine, cybersecurity, and international business law.

‍

Molly Dobbins is Head of Practice Operations at Rudick Law Group, PLLC, where she oversees the internal systems, workflows, and business infrastructure that power the firm's work across cannabis law, intellectual property, psychedelic medicine, and emerging industries. With expertise spanning legal operations, financial oversight, trust accounting, client management systems, and multi-state coordination, Molly serves as the operational foundation of a firm advising industry-defining clients across multiple states and countries. Her work ensures RLG's attorneys can move with focus, precision, and speed, and that every client engagement is backed by a firm running at its best.

‍

Molly's path into legal operations was anything but conventional, which is exactly what makes her effective. After years in events, marketing, and client services, she moved into large-scale project administration in the construction industry, managing the administrative operations behind landmark infrastructure projects across San Diego, CA. That experience taught her that the quality of behind-the-scenes systems is what determines whether ambitious organizations succeed or stall. She then transitioned into the legal sector as a startup firm administrator and self-taught IP paralegal, building the operational and administrative systems for an emerging intellectual property practice from scratch. Simultaneously, she took on operations and marketing for a cannabis company dedicated to connecting independent breeders to world markets— designing organizational structure, implementing standard operating procedures, building the company's website, and leading marketing. It was at that intersection of legal operations and the cannabis industry where her path to RLG began to take shape.

‍

Molly's years building infrastructure for cannabis businesses and emerging law firms gave her firsthand understanding of why operational excellence isn't optional in these industries— it's a legal and regulatory necessity. Cannabis, psychedelic medicine, and cybersecurity law operate in environments where the rules are still being written, enforcement is unpredictable, and clients depend on their counsel to move with precision. Having worked inside these industries, built systems for their operators, and navigated their complexity before joining RLG, Molly brings more than organizational expertise to her role– she brings context. That experience informs every process she designs, every system she implements, and every decision she makes as the firm grows.

‍

Molly joined RLG in 2023 as one of the firm's earliest operational hires, helping to build the infrastructure, systems, and processes that transformed RLG from a growing practice into a fully operational firm. She believes the firms that will define the next decade of regulated industries are the ones investing in their operations now, and she is committed to ensuring RLG is one of them.
