Foley & Lardner LLP is pleased to announce that Blane Prescott has been appointed as the firm’s new chief operating officer. Prescott will succeed Darrell Ohlhauser following Ohlhauser’s retirement after nearly 16 years of service with the firm.
Prescott has vast experience in the legal profession, most recently having served with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, a Denver-based national law and lobbying firm, where he had oversight responsibility for a broad array of management and operational functions.
