The Simon Law Firm, P.C. has built a reputation as one of Missouri's most unique litigation practices, as well as one of its most successful. Since the firm's founding in 2000, it has obtained more than $880 million in verdicts and settlements.

The firm's extensive experience in trying cases is well recognized throughout the legal community, and Tony Simon, who established the firm's business litigation and intellectual property group in 2003, notes, "Our fee arrangements ensure that our clients will not have to settle a case on unfavorable terms to avoid the burden of legal fees."

"We developed a business litigation and intellectual property practice that has the same national reputation as our personal injury practice." - Tony Simon

Since its inception, the group experienced a trajectory similar to the firm's personal injury practice: in 2016 the group ranked Tier 1 in St. Louis by U.S. News - Best Lawyers "Best Law Firms" for intellectual property and patent litigation. Additionally, Tony, along with attorneys Ben Askew and Tim Krieger are top ranked by Best Lawyers.

"We developed a business litigation and intellectual property practice that has the same national reputation as our personal injury practice," notes Tony, who has been selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America since 2010 in the practice areas of antitrust, intellectual property, and patent litigation. The Best Lawyers in America named Tony St. Louis "Lawyer of the Year" for patent litigation in 2013, intellectual property litigation in 2014, and patent litigation in 2015.

If a business needs representation, what should they do?

If you have a contract dispute or other business litigation matter, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your options. We will provide a frank assessment of your case and a range of fee structures to fit your needs. Our contingency, flat-fee, and hybrid-fee arrangements are designed to lower costs, align with your business goals, and provide predictability to your bottom line compared to traditional billing practices. Please visit our website at www.simonlawpc.com.

Why should businesses turn to The Simon Law Firm, P.C. for representation?

Maximizing the value of your case requires effective and efficient representation. Results matter. But so does the cost of those results. The costs of litigation can render any victory hollow. At The Simon Law Firm, we offer top-notch representation without the monthly bills for attorney fees. We use unique fee arrangements that align our interests with those of our clients.

We try cases on a contingency fee basis as well as hybrid, flat-fee, and alternative fee arrangements in courts across the country against some of the largest companies and law firms in the world.

Why does The Simon Law Firm, P.C. offer alternative fee structures?

Whether you are a plaintiff or a defendant, business litigation is expensive. Many companies have valid claims that aren't being enforced simply because they can't afford the large retainers and high monthly fees that are required to take on a large opponent in court.

Because we get paid for results-not just effort-we level the playing field for companies faced with expensive, burdensome litigation. We are trial attorneys. Backed by our extensive experience trying cases, rather than litigating and settling, our goal is to maximize the value of your case.

Moreover, our flexibility in fee structures allows us to create a custom fee structure, tailored to meet your company's needs and provide more certainty to your bottom line.

How do alternative fee structures help reduce financial risk for clients?

Alternative fee structures reduce the financial risk to our clients and align our interests with those of our clients. Too often, the only parties that benefit from litigation are the law firms and attorneys who can receive millions of dollars in fees, regardless of the outcome of the case.

How does the contingency fee structure work?

Contingency fee arrangements show our confidence in our ability to obtain results for you, because we don't receive payment unless and until we are able to obtain a successful outcome. In some cases, we may require advance payment of out-of-pocket expenses. If we think your case is strong enough, we may cover out-of-pocket expenses with the understanding that we can recover those expenses if and when we successfully resolve your case.

What are some of the companies you have successfully litigated against?

The Simon Law Firm has successfully litigated against some of the world's largest companies, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung, Cisco, and eBay.
