Principal
St. Louis
Steve Schwartz represents professionals — including lawyers, accountants and real estate professionals — alongside business litigation, employment defense and copyright, trademark, trade secret and technology disputes.
He said “every day is a new challenge,” explaining that representing lawyers across all practice areas continuously exposes him to new disciplines, from family law and probate to maritime and estate planning. He has earned strong trial results for professionals whose professional reputations were on the line.
Schwartz writes articles and presents CLEs on legal malpractice avoidance strategies, serves as a mediator with Miles Mediation, is active with ALFA International and attends the ABA semiannual legal malpractice seminar. Representative clients include Watco, Life Time Inc., Blueprint Coffee and Christy Refractories.
