Companies facing complex legal issues need more than formulaic responses. Especially when there is a risk of litigation, your business should be protected by innovative yet practical legal advice and advocacy.As an attorney with experience in surety, fidelity, and a wide range of commercial litigation, I start every client relationship by asking you what your objectives are. From there, I help you understand the realities involved in reaching those objectives, and together we develop a legal strategy for obtaining the ideal outcome. Rather than offer you a one-size-fits-all solution, I use an array of legal resources to find solutions that other attorneys might not consider.SPECIALIZATIONS►Commercial Litigation►Surety►Fidelity►Insurance►ContractsEXPERIENCE►Won one of the largest defense verdicts in Missouri (2013)►Won one of the largest plaintiffs’ verdicts in Missouri (2014)►Negotiated multimillion-dollar insurance settlement for Missouri nonprofit►First-chaired state and federal jury and bench trials in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa►Briefed and argued before appellate courts in Missouri, Kansas, and the Eighth Circuit►Handled more than 180 claims in what was the nation's largest bankruptcy►Drafted amicus brief on school funding before the Kansas Supreme Court►Former NFLPA-Certified Contract Advisor►Defended NFL and MLB teams against workers compensation claimsIf you are a business pursuing or facing litigation, contact me today to set up a consultation.You can reach me at (816) 460–1810 or by email at smecham@levycraig.com.
