Overview
We are pleased to announced continued aggressive growth in Missouri today adding two lateral attorneys to our St. Louis office, including partners Gene Brockland and Daniel Peters. The entire group joins from the St. Louis firm of Herzog Crebs. This significant expansion of the St. Louis office firmly cements the firm’s position as a business law firm to watch in Missouri.
The firm has handpicked these exceptional local attorneys to join our supportive and inclusive culture, client service focus and collaborative environment. Our attorneys put the client first with a commitment to work as a business partner rather than just a service provider.
“SmithAmundsen’s way of doing business is refreshing in the legal marketplace,” said Gene Brockland, a senior attorney joining the firm. “SmithAmundsen provides a uniquely entrepreneurial culture where we feel our group will thrive and have the space to innovate and serve clients in a more flexible and personalized way.”
These two experienced attorneys join our established office including real estate and land use attorneys Brad Goss, Lisa Johnson and Elizabeth Lum, tax attorney Joe Demko, and litigator Heather Bub.
