Mr. Barlow joined Dorsey & Whitney in its Utah office in October 2018,
following a distinguished career in private practice and as United
States Attorney for the District of Utah. Immediately prior to joining
Dorsey, David was a Vice President for Walmart’s $40-billion Health and

Immediately prior to his service as U.S. Attorney, he served as Senator
Mike Lee’s Chief Counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In his role as U.S. Attorney from 2011 to 2014, Mr. Barlow led an office
of approximately 85 personnel, including 40 Assistant U.S. Attorneys who

law enforcement agencies. He also served on the DOJ’s national White
Collar Crime Subcommittee and Healthcare Fraud Working Group and chaired
the Local Government Coordination Working Group. Mr. Barlow also was
