Sarah I. Vincent, Attorney, Husch Blackwell, helps clients proactively address labor and employment matters, creating an inclusive and welcoming culture for their employees. Sarah came to the practice of law after working as a high school teacher in an underserved community—an experience that left her longing for a career that would provide a stronger voice for advocacy work. She focused first on immigration law, externing with the Department of Justice and the Executive Office of Immigration Review. However, a summer at a labor and employment defense firm demonstrated to her how powerful the practice area was, with its many opportunities to help companies effect positive change for their employees. As a labor and employment attorney, Sarah counsels national employers on a range of issues, with a specific focus on DEI and how to cultivate inclusive hiring and retention practices, especially for justice-impacted individuals. Sarah is certified in DEI from Cornell University, is an alumnus of the Fair Chance Corporate Cohort, and received the 2024 Young Alumni of the Year Award from Pepperdine University for her work in DEI.
