“Adam will play a vital role as a key client-facing leader in Omaha,” said Paul Eberle, Husch Blackwell Chief Executive. “His leadership in the Omaha office will continue Marnie’s client-first legacy and continue to broaden the visibility of our firm in this important market.”
“I am excited to continue Husch Blackwell’s legacy of superior client service to our Omaha clients. Omaha has earned a deserved reputation as a great place to live, work, play, raise a family, and grow a business, and I am proud to champion that reputation in my new role,” Charlsen said.
