Partner Shirley Padmore-Mensah was profiled in a July 28, 2010 article in The St. Louis American.
The article details Padmore-Mensah's career at Husch Blackwell and her efforts to promote diversity at the firm. "I use what influence I have to make sure all associates are being integrated into the firm," Padmore-Mensah said about her role as a mentor to young attorneys as well as her former role as hiring committee member.
In St. Louis, she is an active member of The Links, Incorporated, a service organization consisting of black women who enrich the community through service projects.
Chris Miller, leader of Husch Blackwell's Litigation Division and a mentor to Padmore-Mensah, said, "I think one of the biggest attributes is that Shirley is always a pleasure to be around. She has great attitude, great judgment, is very poised and she can deliver bad news, and that's a great asset."
