MILWAUKEE (March 18, 2025) – OVB Law & Consulting, S.C., established in 2016 as a boutique law firm serving closely held businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals, is proud to announce its rebranding as AxePoint Law.
As part of this evolution, AxePoint Law proudly welcomes new shareholder, Ryan L. Woody, nationally recognized for his expertise in insurance litigation, subrogation and complex litigation.
Woody joins founding shareholders Emil Ovbiagele and Samantha Huddleston Baker, bringing with him an experienced team to lead the firm’s insurance litigation, subrogation and complex litigation practice areas from its downtown Milwaukee headquarters. Woody’s addition significantly enhances AxePoint’s capabilities and expands its national footprint, including the opening of a new office in the Boston area.
“Today is an exciting and transformational day for OVB Law and Consulting, Ovbiagele stated. “This is more than a rebrand, it’s a pivotal moment in our journey. Adding Ryan and his exceptional team marks our commitment to deepening our expertise, broadening our national footprint and enhancing client outcomes. At AxePoint, our focus remains unwavering – to simplify complex legal challenges and empower clients to take bold, decisive actions.”
Clients will now benefit from expanded practice areas that include nationwide insurance subrogation, workers’ compensation subrogation, ERISA and employee benefits litigation, injury and product liability litigation, as well as fire, explosion and catastrophic loss litigation. These new offerings complement AxePoint’s established core practice areas in business and real estate law, employment law and civil litigation.
Our approach to law has always focused on being the difference maker for our clients,” Baker stated. “With Ryan joining our team, we’re elevating this commitment further.”
Woody emphasized the alignment among the firm’s leadership, “We share a common belief that legal representation should be personal, hands-on, trust focused and results driven. Our value proposition and promise is to be ‘A Cut Above’ for those seeking an elevated experience when seeking practical counsel, creative and innovative legal strategies and exceptional outcomes.”
