Ryan Olson, 37, notched another achievement in an already impressive legal career at the start of 2025, when he was named partner at Husch Blackwell.
Olson, who also owns Maxon Fine Jewelry with wife Jessica Harmison-Olson, started his career as an assistant prosecutor and continues to find time for pro bono work while mentoring younger attorneys.
Olson in 2023 and 2024 was designated by Husch Blackwell as Pro Bono Champion with at least 50 hours donated each year.
“Just this past year, I represented an inmate in a prisoner rights case in federal court, a minority business owner in a Communities for Change project, a disabled veteran in a landlord-tenant dispute and a local charitable organization in work to help navigate the organization through employment issues,” Olson says.
