Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law graduates Mary Beth Claus, ’86, and Jennett Hill, ’98, were named to the Indianapolis Business Journal’s “Women of Influence” Class for 2014. The newspaper annually honors women who have excelled in their areas of expertise, whether business, the arts, and community or public service in metropolitan Indianapolis.
Claus is Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Indiana University Health. Before undertaking her work in health care, Claus served as an administrative executive liaison to then-Governor Evan Bayh, when she advised him on the 1992 Medicaid budget overhaul and the closure of Central State Hospital in 1993. Early in her career, she worked for the Indianapolis firms Bingham Summers Welsh & Spilman, now Bingham Greenebaum Doll, and Baker & Daniels, now Faegre Baker Daniels.
Hill is Senior Vice President and General Counsel at Citizens Energy Group. She worked for IBM 10 years before attending law school, and clerked for then-Justice Frank Sullivan, now professor-of-practice at IU McKinney. She later worked for Faegre Baker Daniels as a partner before moving to her position at Citizens.
