Elder Law

Workforce issues are some of the most complex challenges facing any business. Attorneys who practice in our employment law group engage in a spectrum of litigation and counseling and aid companies of all types and sizes to ensure compliance with the federal and state employment laws.

We regularly counsel employers across a broad range of issues such as separation agreements and releases, employee misconduct and discipline, employee policies and handbooks, workforce reductions and preventative training. Our extensive employment trial experience includes representing employers in jury trials involving all types of discrimination, retaliation and harassment claims as well as breach of contract claims relating to employment agreements, severance agreements and non-compete agreements.

Our employment law practice works closely with our business law practice to craft pension, compensation, and other employee benefit agreements on behalf of both employers and executives. Such an arrangement allows us to offer comprehensive services to businesses and employers through ongoing guidance centered on prevention as well as the protection of an experienced litigation team. Our employment law attorneys are available to assist you through trial, and we are also highly experienced in employment mediation, arbitration and dispute resolution, and crafting practical compensation and other employment agreements as well as general employee guidelines.

Lawsuits & Disputes

Litigation

Our litigation attorneys have tried hundreds of jury and non-jury trials. Our litigation practice is led by Jerry Carmody, one of only a handful of St. Louis lawyers who is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.

We have assembled a talented team of trial attorneys from large and small firms, in-house practices, and government agencies. Our unique team brings diverse capabilities to our clients. We focus on accomplishing our clients’ goals through aggressive advocacy and superior work product. We are proud of the unique perspectives and capabilities of our civil litigation practice.

While prepared to prosecute or defend your claims in court, we are equally mindful that litigation is usually a last – not a first – option. Our team includes attorneys who focus on identifying and managing litigation risks for individuals and corporations. We also provide mediation services and are well-versed in all alternative dispute resolution techniques.

We have a strong focus in real estate litigation. We handle complex commercial, financing and construction litigation disputes. In addition, we have achieved a concentration in eminent domain law, both by assisting developers in accomplishing complex projects and in helping landowners maximize their ownership rights. By working closely with attorneys in our real estate practice, we bring unique and focused capabilities to virtually every form of real estate litigation.

Our team regularly assists clients with:

  • Arbitration/Mediation
