Top Law Firms 2025

Missouri has hundreds of law firms, ranging from solo practices to major operations with dozens of practices spanning multiple states or countries. Every firm has a unique advantage that drives clients to choose it over a rival. But a few law firms stand out in particular ways.

For some firms, it’s a straightforward story of being at the top of some category — the largest, the oldest, the biggest winner in a court case. For others, it’s a geographic footprint or personnel practice that illuminates a firm’s strategic growth decisions, or a history of involvement with the state’s political scene. 

The Top Law Firms blends attributes of Missouri Lawyers Media’s monthly POWER Lists and its annual rankings of finances and headcount in MOney and The Firms.

Categories range from objectively measurable criteria to subjective impressions that are informed by our editorial staff’s experience and knowledge.

Perhaps you disagree with a firm we’ve chosen or can conceive of categories that would be better measures of a firm’s excellence. As always, we welcome feedback. Missouri Lawyers Media thinks these are Missouri’s Top Law Firms. What do you think?
