Kansas City

National law firm Armstrong Teasdale announces the addition of Litigation Associate Samuel A. Pomeroy in the firm’s Kansas City office. He handles all phases of litigation, from drafting pleadings to appearing at trial, negotiating settlements, and managing appeals.

Pomeroy has counseled employers and employees on restrictive covenant issues and claims under the Missouri Human Rights Act. As part of his practice counseling employers, he regularly drafts and reviews employment agreements such as noncompete/nonsolicitation agreements for employers.

In addition, Pomeroy has defended businesses through complex commercial litigation often involving contract disputes and tort claims. He has also represented insurance company clients in declaratory judgment actions in state and federal court, and argued substantive motions as primary counsel in federal and state courts.

Prior to joining Armstrong Teasdale, Pomeroy gained valuable experience as a civil litigation associate at other Kansas City area law firms, where he focused primarily on employment and commercial litigation matters, as well as insurance coverage and insurance defense related to personal injury and construction defect.
