Thompson Coburn partner Bill Bay has been named to the Missouri Lawyers Media Business Defense 2025 Power List. The annual list spotlights the most powerful attorneys who defend businesses and corporations in court. “These are practitioners who defend their clients on claims ranging from products liability to premises liability, contesting plaintiffs’ claims at every turn and taking great pride in a verdict form that reads: $0,” the publication noted.
Bill litigates cases on behalf of companies facing high-risk litigation and helps businesses manage and respond to large portfolios of litigation in multiple jurisdictions. These matters include highly complex and document-intensive cases involving breach of contract, fraud, corporate governance, insurance coverage, lost profits, lender liability, and tortious interference.
“He was elected president of the American Bar Association for the 2024–2025 term after more than 20 years in various roles in both the ABA and Missouri legal organizations,” the publication’s profile on Bill stated. “Notably, he has co-chaired statewide commissions focused on increasing access and opportunities for women attorneys, achieving equal access to justice for litigants, and supporting the Supreme Court of Missouri’s Commission on Racial and Ethnic Fairness.”
