The equally rapid rise in the number of government regulations and intensity of enforcement efforts has forced businesses to defend their policies and practices more aggressively than ever before.

As experienced business trial attorneys, we know the importance of learning and understanding the business operations of our clients. This knowledge enables us to form strategies that promote our clients' litigation position without frustrating their business plans or complicating relationships with suppliers, customers, investors, employees or competitors.

When needed, we form interdisciplinary groups with non-litigation attorneys in our firm to analyze all technical and business aspects of a litigation matter. Because of our comprehensive litigation approach, we have also been asked to provide risk management services and preventive counseling to various industries.

We encourage frank and open discussion of fees at the outset of representation. Our fees are competitive with those of other leading firms in the St. Louis, Missouri, region. We find that most of our clients are comfortable with a billing arrangement based on an hourly rate.

Alternative fee arrangements, such as fixed fee, blended hourly rate, contingent fee or value billing, may be negotiated. We have extensive experience with task-based billing and litigation budgeting.
