Spencer Fane attorney Erik Solverud has earned a place on the 2026 St. Louis Small Business Monthly Top Attorneys list.
This honor spotlights attorneys who “have proven their dedication to the success of small businesses in St. Louis” through the crucial guidance they provide their clients. In their honorees profile, each Top Business Attorney shares tips for success, explains the biggest mistake they see business owners make and how to alleviate it, and reveals what motivates their work.
“Nothing in the practice of law is quite as rewarding or fulfilling as helping clients achieve success by growing their business,” Erik said. “As a trusted advisor, a lawyer oftentimes gets to ‘look behind the curtain’ and observe all of the hard work, grit and discipline that goes into making a business successful. Contributing to that success and then watching clients get to enjoy the rewards of all that hard work is very satisfying.”
In the same issue, Amy Mistler shares insights as a 2026 Top Business Advisor for the publication.
At the firm, Erik is an experienced trial lawyer and business litigator, having been involved in a wide variety of complex commercial, shareholder disputes and business litigation in Missouri and southern Illinois.
