Attorney Information
Overview
Chris Grant focuses his practice on Private and Public Sector Labor Unions, Election Law, Prevailing Wage and Unpaid Overtime. He represents labor unions in NLRB matters, collective bargaining, and grievance-arbitration. He has tried multiple unfair labor practice cases before the NLRB and public employee cases in state court, and has handled appeals in the 7th, 8th, and D.C. Circuits and before the Missouri Supreme Court. He regularly advises unions and 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations on state-wide initiative petitions, advocacy and political work, and lobbying limits.
In 2025, Chris received the Lawyer of the Year award from Missouri’s Lawyers Media as part of the legal team protecting Amendment 3, a reproductive rights constitutional amendment. He advised groups working to place the measure on the ballot, and then worked with other attorneys including Loretta Haggard and the ACLU to defend the Amendment 3 from a slew of unprecedented legal attacks, to ensure a vote on the measure.
Chris graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law in 2001 (J.D., summa cum laude). Before attending law school, he helped lead a successful union organizing campaign at his workplace, serving on the organizing and negotiation committees. He has been an editor for The Developing Labor Law and How to Take a Case Before the NLRB treatises. He is an Adjunct Professor at St. Louis University School of Law and Washington University School of Law, where he teaches courses on non-traditional workplaces and on law and literature.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
