Lashly & Baer, P.C.

What Lashly & Baer, P.C. does

Lashly & Baer, P.C. is a privately held, mid-size law firm organized as a professional corporation and founded in 1912. Headquartered at 714 Locust Street in St. Louis, Missouri, the firm maintains additional offices in Edwardsville, Illinois and Belleville, Illinois, and employs over 50 attorneys delivering full-service legal representation across more than ten practice areas: business and corporate law, litigation, healthcare law (including medical malpractice defense), transportation, education law, professional liability, personal injury and product liability, estate planning, family law, cybersecurity, labor and employment, real estate, and government/public agencies. Clients span large and small businesses, government agencies, hospitals and healthcare providers, and individuals, with engagements executed across Missouri and Illinois and select national matters.

The firm operates on a traditional professional services revenue model. Compensation is generated through legal services billed under signed engagement letters, with rates and scope varying by matter complexity, practice area, and client needs; no published pricing or subscription model exists. Go-to-market is relationship-driven and relies on direct attorney-client engagement, the USLAW network for cross-jurisdictional referrals, content marketing through the firm blog, podcast and earned media appearances, and community sponsorships. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, SaaS product, or disclosed AI tooling; competitive differentiation rests on attorney experience, cross-functional collaboration, and institutional reputation rather than technology.

Lashly & Baer's talent base includes members who have served in the United States Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and other prominent government positions. The firm has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Lawyers firm and has received regional honors including Missouri Lawyers Media's ICON award, St. Louis Business Journal's ranking as the #5 corporate philanthropist among small companies, and Best Places to Work recognition. President Lisa Stump and litigator Patrick Foppe, elected President of the Transportation Lawyers Association in 2026, anchor the current leadership bench.
