Litigation isn’t always the best option. Mediation and arbitration offer faster, more private alternatives to court battles, allowing parties to resolve disputes while maintaining control over the outcome.

Our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) attorneys help businesses, professionals, and individuals navigate conflicts through mediation, arbitration, and structured negotiations. We help parties reach fair, strategic resolutions that minimize risk and avoid the costs and uncertainty of a trial.

Professional Liability Defense

Professionals face unique legal risks, including malpractice claims, regulatory complaints, and ethics investigations. Allegations of misconduct can threaten careers, reputations, and financial stability, making a strong legal defense essential.

We defend attorneys, accountants, engineers, architects, insurance agents, and other professionals against claims of negligence, malpractice, and professional misconduct. With deep industry knowledge and extensive trial experience, we work to dismiss unfounded claims, negotiate favorable settlements, and aggressively defend clients in litigation and administrative proceedings.

We have successfully litigated pension disputes, municipal liability claims, and governmental contract conflicts, including landmark cases before the Missouri Supreme Court.
