Established in 1873, BCLP’s St. Louis office is the firm’s largest U.S. office, serving clients across the St. Louis region as well as nationally and internationally. Boasting a long reputation for representing the region’s largest companies, we are especially known for guiding clients through multimillion-dollar transactions and cross-border negotiations in the finance, technology and manufacturing industries.

The St. Louis office has lawyers practicing across a broad range of areas, including corporate and commercial law, sports and entertainment, employment and labor, employee benefits, environmental, litigation, real estate, intellectual property and many others. Top legal publications consistently rank our lawyers as leaders in the areas of real estate, mergers and acquisitions, litigation, intellectual property, employment and corporate law.

Community

Our lawyers have built a house for Habitat for Humanity; walked for the March of Dimes (backed by donations); and hosted the Adopt-A-Family program. Initiated more than a decade ago at the suggestion of a staff member, the Adopt-A Family program pairs a needy family with each of the office’s nine floors during the holiday season. Employees purchase gifts from the family’s wish list, making a large and direct impact on the community.

In addition, St. Louis employees serve on a number of area boards, including the St. Louis Leadership Summit on Diversity; the Regional Commerce and Growth Association of St. Louis; and the boards of area hospitals, colleges and universities. These philanthropic efforts all go a long way toward making BCLP an integral part of St. Louis, and making St. Louis a great place to live and work.

The FTC and State Case Against Amazon Highlights Risks and Impacts from Using Pricing Algorithms

Both the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division have focused their sights on big technology companies. Understanding the precedents set by these suits is critical for clients operating in today’s online marketplaces, both to avoid the risk of antitrust investigations or litigation, and to understand whether a client has been harmed by potentially unlawful conduct.  A September 30, 2024 decision by Judge Chun in the Western District of Washington in the FTC v. Amazon.com case—unsealed to the public on October 7, 2024—demonstrates the increasing breadth of the agencies’ antitrust theories and the wide impacts of Amazon’s sprawling pricing algorithms.*

NLRB General Counsel Targets Non-Competes and Stay-or-Pay Provisions

Last week, the National Labor Relations Board’s General Counsel Jennifer A. Abruzzo (the “GC”) announced her position that “stay-or-pay” provisions in employment agreements are unlawful under the National Labor Relations Act (the “NLRA”). The GC also reiterated and built on an earlier memo in which she took the position that almost all non-competes are similarly unlawful under the NLRA because they infringe on “Section 7” rights (which include the right to union and engage in other “protected concerted activity”). Employers—even if “non-union”—should consider the following questions.

FTC Announces New Premerger Notification Form

On October 10, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), with the concurrence of the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, (the “DOJ”, and together, the “Agencies”) voted unanimously to adopt new premerger notification rules (the “Final Rule”) that implement the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). The Agencies had previously announced proposed amendments on June 27, 2023, which we covered in a previous insight. The Final Rule reflects numerous changes made during a lengthy review and comment period, including a thorough revamping of the Premerger Notification and Report Form (the “New Form”) that parties are each required to complete if their transaction is reportable under the HSR Act.
