The POWER List: Construction Law 2026
Staff Report//March 12, 2026//
A successful construction project needs more than just people who can swing a hammer or operate a crane. It also needs a good lawyer or two.
In our latest edition of The POWER List, we delve into the ranks of Missouri’s construction lawyers. These are attorneys who represent general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and property owners with issues ranging from defects in a project’s construction to negotiating contracts to enforcing and collecting promised payments.
Our editorial team spoke to attorneys, reviewed our database of verdicts and settlements and consulted Missouri Lawyers Weekly’s archives to arrive at a list of what we believe are the most powerful attorneys in construction law in Missouri.
As always, this is a subjective enterprise. Let us know if there are attorneys who should have been included — and watch for further editions of The POWER List coming in 2026.
