Overview

Founded in 1972 in Kansas City by three attorneys, Polsinelli began serving local business and real estate clients.

Polsinelli built standout practices in healthcare, real estate, finance, technology, private equity, life sciences, litigation, and IP.
The firm tackles a wide range of high-stakes matters: from multi-state real estate financings and major healthcare regulatory work to patent litigation, corporate M&A, labor disputes, and cybersecurity.
Polsinelli positions itself as a 'daily and weekly' partner to mid-market corporate clients, emphasizing consistent presence and industry-focused counsel.
