Litigation chair, St. Louis

Neal Perryman has chaired Lewis Rice’s litigation department since 2020. He also is a longtime member of the firm’s management and recruiting committees and a founding member of its diversity and inclusion committee.

He’s won important victories for Saint Louis University, including a defense verdict on an education specialist’s claims of gender discrimination and wrongful discharge, and summary judgment for the university on claims that it was deliberately indifferent to a student’s rape. He also gained one of the first jury verdicts under the featherweight causation standard for Missouri Human Rights Act cases.

In 2019, Perryman prevailed on behalf of Armstrong Teasdale in a dispute with a former partner who was forced by firm policy to retire at 70.
