With small business funding and ecommerce ascendant throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Husch Blackwell has added an Ohio-based consumer finance lawyer to its roster.

The Am Law 100 firm announced this week it has hired Susan Seaman, previously of Columbus-based boutique Dreher Tomkies, to join its financial services and capital markets group. She is the 28th lawyer to join the firm’s virtual office setup, known as The Link, in 2021, and the first lawyer for the firm based in Ohio.
