Gray, Ritter and Graham

What Gray, Ritter and Graham does

Gray, Ritter and Graham is a St. Louis-based plaintiffs' law firm founded in 1946 that represents individuals, farmers, and small businesses in personal injury and commercial litigation matters across Missouri and the broader Midwest. The firm operates on a contingency-fee basis for personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and product liability cases, while handling commercial litigation, class actions, and mass torts on varied fee arrangements. Its case portfolio spans car and truck accidents, medical malpractice, aviation accidents, premises liability, railroad/river-worker accidents, and a nationally recognized agricultural litigation practice that has secured more than $3 billion in recoveries for U.S. farmers in seed-contamination, herbicide-drift, and GMO-related disputes.

The firm's underlying capability is human trial advocacy and MDL leadership rather than technology — it holds no proprietary software, API, or AI product, and its value proposition is built on the courtroom credentials of approximately 12 attorneys, several of whom are Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. Its go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: the firm secures complex mass-tort and class-action work through attorney referrals, co-counsel arrangements, and its reputation for precedent-setting verdicts, including a $4.69 billion talcum powder verdict (the largest in Missouri history) and a $1.51 billion Syngenta corn settlement. The firm has been continuously ranked Band 1 by Chambers and Partners for "Litigation: Mainly Plaintiffs" and is listed in 10 practice areas in the U.S. News-Best Lawyers survey, with revenue generated entirely from contingency fees and litigation fee arrangements.
