Husch Blackwell Adds Duane Morris : Coren's Legacy in Banking Law

Akin to a captain steering a ship through treacherous waters, Coren has successfully piloted financial service clients amidst whirlpools of corporate matters and the vigilant eyes of regulatory watchdogs such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. His acumen isn't limited to national bodies; he's also an adept player in the Californian financial regulatory arena, mastering interactions with institutions like the Federal Reserve and California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.

In an electrifying statement, Coren articulated his exhilaration about this new journey, likening Husch Blackwell to a refreshing wind under his wings. He's primed to amplify the firm's financial stature, particularly on the West Coast.

His forte? Charting the course for banks, weaving acquisition deals, sculpting corporate structures, and navigating the labyrinth of regulatory mandates. Drawing an analogy, Jacque Albus, the general of Husch Blackwell's financial army of 158 attorneys, remarked, "Coren can converse in the intricate dialect of bankers. His expertise will be pivotal in catapulting our national transactional prowess in the banking sector."

Reflecting on Coren's impressive track record, a peep into his LinkedIn reveals a mosaic of achievements. Before embarking on the Duane Morris journey, Coren was the lighthouse guiding Horgan Rosen Beckham & Coren LLP for an astounding 27 years.

Roots and Educational Background

As for the academic roots that nourished this legal maven, Coren blossomed at Temple University, further sharpening his legal acumen at the Beasley School of Law, the very arms of Temple University.

Husch Blackwell's Audacious Expansions

But the winds of change at Husch Blackwell aren't limited to Coren. The firm recently onboarded Dan Wilson from Arnold & Porter, adding muscle to its international trade brigade in D.C. Another feather in its cap was Derek Schmidt, who now reigns in their Link virtual office, boasting the title of Kansas' second-longest-serving attorney general.

A quick glimpse at Husch Blackwell showcases a grand empire of legal intellect. With 21 dominions (offices) spread across the nation and a legion of over 970 attorneys, this firm stood tall as the 42nd titan of U.S. law firms in 2022.
