What Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP does

Stueve Siegel Hanson LLP is a plaintiffs-side litigation law firm founded in 2001 and headquartered at 460 Nichols Road, Suite 200, Kansas City, Missouri. The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis, earning compensation only when its clients prevail, and serves both individuals and corporate clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Its practice is organized across seven core areas: Business Contingency Litigation (antitrust, breach of contract, cybersecurity, fraud), Employment & Compensation, Consumer Protection, Privacy & Data Breach, Personal Injury, Agriculture & Food, and Class Trials & Appeals, with a complementary Investigations service that sources new matters such as life insurance "Cost of Insurance" overcharges and Oracle Health/Cerner data breach claims.

The firm has recovered more than $1 billion for plaintiffs nationwide, with landmark outcomes including a $2.25 billion settlement in the Lincoln National life insurance matter, a $1.51 billion settlement in the Syngenta GMO corn seed litigation, a $1.5 billion Equifax data breach settlement, a $500 million T-Mobile data breach settlement, and a $217 million Syngenta bellwether jury verdict. It has earned consecutive Law360 Cybersecurity & Privacy Group of the Year awards (2020, 2023), is recognized as a "powerhouse" by Chambers USA and a "Titan of the Plaintiffs Bar" by Law360, and had 11 attorneys named to the 2026 Best Lawyers in America, including three "Lawyer of the Year" designations.

Its go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven: clients are acquired through press coverage of major settlements, peer recognition rankings, referrals, and an investigations page that invites potential claimants to come forward. The firm distributes services nationally through direct engagement and co-counsel relationships with other plaintiff's firms on multi-district litigation, and supports its litigation with in-house eDiscovery, collaborative case management platforms, and AI-assisted document review evaluated against ethical, secure, and effective standards. Leadership includes former Kansas Attorney General and federal judge Steve Six, alongside named partners Patrick Stueve, Norman Siegel, George Hanson, and Austin Moore.
