Senior counsel, litigation | Evernorth Health Services | St. Louis

Ashley Rothe manages complex legal disputes, regulatory investigations and pre-litigation risk while partnering with internal stakeholders to align litigation strategy with company goals.

Rothe earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with concentrations in finance and economics from Saint Louis University in 2007, followed by her JD from Saint Louis University in 2010. During law school, she served as a judicial extern for the Missouri Court of Appeals.

She began her legal career at Husch Blackwell in 2010, advancing from associate to partner before transitioning to in-house practice in 2019 with Express Scripts, Inc. She joined Evernorth in February 2025.

“Beyond providing legal guidance, I strive to understand the business — its goals, risks, and values — so I can offer practical, forward-thinking advice,” Rothe said. She emphasizes balancing legal strategy with business priorities while proactively reducing exposure rather than simply reacting to problems.
