Continuing Legal Education Coordinator

The story of Husch Blackwell is one of strategic evolution and a commitment to breaking the mold of the traditional law firm. While its roots stretch back to 1916 with the founding of McCune, Caldwell & Downing in Kansas City, and 1922 with Salkey & Jones in St. Louis, the modern firm emerged from a pivotal 2008 merger. This union between Husch & Eppenberger and Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin created a Midwestern powerhouse that didn't just aim to be bigger, but better aligned with the needs of its clients.

In a bold departure from the standard practice-area model, Husch Blackwell reorganized itself entirely around industry sectors in 2012. This client-centric approach meant that attorneys weren't just specialists in the law, but experts in the specific business challenges of industries like healthcare, energy, and technology. The firm's journey of innovation continued with the launch of 'The Link' in 2020, a fully virtual office that has since grown to include hundreds of attorneys working remotely across the United States. Today, Husch Blackwell stands as a forward-thinking leader, blending a century of legal heritage with cutting-edge operational strategies and a 'work-from-anywhere' culture that attracts top talent nationwide.
