Husch Blackwell Recruits Data Privacy Chief From Ogletree
Husch Blackwell has hired a data privacy leader away from Ogletree, adding senior privacy counsel to its ranks. The move reflects continued demand for experienced privacy attorneys as law firms compete to build out dedicated practice groups.
Why this matters: Law firms are quietly racing to staff up on privacy talent, and that competition matters to clients. When companies face a breach, a regulator, or a new AI governance question, who they can call depends on whether their firm has actually invested in this area. Lateral hires at the leadership level signal where firms think the work is going. For anyone shopping for outside privacy counsel, the bench is getting deeper, but it is also getting harder to tell who has real expertise and who just added a title.
