Kansas City Law Firm Adds AI Leadership Roles to New Tech Unit
Husch Blackwell, a Kansas City-based law firm, has filled three leadership positions within its Transformation Office, which launched in March to accelerate technology adoption across the organization.
The firm appointed leaders for practice innovation, strategic delivery, and data science. These roles sit within the Transformation Office and oversee the firm's push into artificial intelligence and broader technology integration.
The moves follow Husch Blackwell's earlier rollout of AI consulting services, positioning the firm to advise clients on technology adoption while building internal capabilities.
Law firms have increasingly staffed dedicated technology and innovation units over the past two years as clients demand AI-driven services and partners seek competitive advantages.
