Husch Blackwell LLP issued the following announcement on Apr. 8.
Husch Blackwell is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing ethical business practices.
Through this partnership, which complements recent investments in the firm’s growing compliance practice, Ethisphere and Husch Blackwell will develop industry-focused thought leadership resources, collaborate on identifying and codifying best practices in key focus areas, and assist companies in driving long-term business performance. Ethisphere will also curate and advance the work of Husch Blackwell through selected platforms, including the upcoming Global Ethics Summit.
“We are thrilled to be among the very small number of law firms that partner with Ethisphere and the more than 315 members of the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance,” said Catherine Hanaway, who recently became Husch Blackwell’s first female Chair. “We are excited to leverage the firm’s unique industry focus to benefit BELA members, and to share collective lessons learned with the business community and Husch Blackwell clients. There is a very real need to demonstrate a culture of compliance across each business unit and area of operations, and we look forward learning from and engaging with some of the most knowledgeable ethics leaders in the world on key issues.”
