Husch Blackwell has appointed Marnie Jensen as managing partner of its Omaha office, effective April 1, 2019.
Jensen succeeds partner Todd Richardson, who had served as office managing partner since 2011. Richardson will continue his full-time law practice advising clients involved in real estate transactions and operating private funds. He also provides counsel concerning federal and state securities law compliance and corporate governance matters.
Jensen is a member of Husch Blackwell’s Food & Agribusiness industry group and routinely represents clients in and out of the courtroom in connection with a variety of disputes, including trade secrets litigation, breach of contract claims, and environmental litigation. She is also a noted speaker and writer on organic certification. She and her husband own a small farm outside of Nebraska City.
“Marnie’s ties to the local community and throughout the state of Nebraska make her a natural choice to lead our Omaha office and build on the good work Todd and our other attorneys have accomplished,” said Husch Blackwell Chief Executive Paul Eberle.
“I look forward to helping the firm continue its service to clients in the Omaha area and enhancing our local profile,” Jensen said. “I am very pleased to have the opportunity to showcase our talented bench of legal professionals in the Omaha office and the value our firm offers from all 18 of its locations.”
Jensen received her J.D. from William and Mary Law School and her B.A. summa cum laude from Dana College. Before joining Husch Blackwell, Marnie was supervising pro se law clerk for the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska, where the bulk of her work related to assisting with complex labor and employment matters.
Jensen will continue to represent her clients while serving as office managing partner.
