Carrie Schwab

Founder & principal attorney

Carrie Schwab is a corporate attorney who helps business owners set up their companies well and keep them on solid ground. Before founding CES Law Group, she practiced at Baird Holm LLP in Omaha, where her work focused on general corporate matters, tax, and employee compensation and benefits.

Carrie came to the law with an owner's perspective. Before law school, she owned and ran a closely held business, so she knows firsthand what it takes to operate and grow a company, and that the most useful legal advice is advice an owner can actually put to work.

She earned her law degree with highest distinction from the University of Nebraska College of Law, where she was Senior Articles Editor of the Nebraska Law Review. She was named to The Best Lawyers in America: Ones to Watch® for Corporate Law in 2026, and she stays active in Lincoln's startup community, including through 1 Million Cups Lincoln.
