Overview

Olga delivers innovative and practical solutions in the field of commercial litigation.

Tackling a broad spectrum of legal challenges, Olga thrives on the dynamic environment and diverse subject matters within the Commercial Litigation practice group. After serving as a summer associate at the firm, an experience that broadened her exposure to legal research and writing and collaborative legal work, Olga joined Husch Blackwell full-time in 2024.

Olga’s path to law was anything but conventional, with a rich pre-law background in music performance, studio and classroom teaching, and administration. This experience honed her analytical skills and taught her to apply existing rule frameworks to new scenarios, a skill she finds highly relevant to her law practice.

As a law student, Olga was particularly drawn to civil procedure, and her interests and internship experience confirmed her interest in litigation. She also interned with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri and the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, where she observed trials and gained an up-close understanding of the litigation process.

Clients will find that Olga is attentive to their unique objectives and strives to implement customized and strategic solutions. Her prior meticulous self-evaluation as a musician has granted her a seasoned perspective, enhancing her capabilities as a keen observer and articulate communicator.

Olga is distinguished not only by her drive and problem-solving mindset but also by her ability to integrate creativity with practicality, ensuring clients’ needs are at the forefront of her approach to each matter.
