Attorneys Jessica Merrigan and Jim Price were named to the 2024 Missouri Lawyers Media POWER List for their critical work in environmental law for the third consecutive year, once again joining the publication’s top 32 environmental attorneys in the state. According to the publication, attorneys selected for the list are “the power brokers who lead and influence various parts of the Missouri legal community.” In 2024, Spencer Fane saw several attorneys recognized as leaders and innovators of their respective practice areas in Missouri.
Jessica and Jim’s consistent recognition – derived from a database of verdicts and settlements as well as the opinions of attorneys and other leadership – over a three-year period exemplifies their trailblazing legal efforts outlined in their individual profiles. Missouri Lawyers Media spotlighted multiple components of this work, including their role as co-chairs of the Spencer Fane Environmental and Energy Practice Group. At the firm, the duo provides diligent leadership in how to best resolve regulatory enforcement actions and litigation while also offering risk-averse guidance for improved client outcomes.
Jessica’s profile underscored her effective counsel on various regulatory requirements and her reputation as a powerful industry litigator, including for claims under the federal Superfund law. It also highlighted her role as a fellow and treasurer of the American College of Environmental Lawyers.
The publication emphasized Jim’s deserved reputation as a leader in the legal and civic environmental sector, including as lead counsel for diverse environmental matters and as inaugural chair of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association’s Environmental Law Committee.
