Congratulations are in order for BB&D’s founding member Robert D. Blitz who was included in Missouri Lawyers Media’s “Top 100 Power List 2023.” As noted in the announcement: “Each month, Missouri Lawyers Media honors the state’s most powerful attorneys in their respective practice areas, from appellate to white collar defense. At the end of the year, our editorial team reviewed hundreds of Power profiles published in the previous 12 months to find the cream of the crop — the Top 100 attorneys in Missouri and bordering metro areas.”
Specifically, Bob was listed among 9 attorneys for their work in Consumer and Commercial Law. In choosing Bob, Missouri Lawyers Media stated: “Bob Blitz, who helped bring the Rams football team to St. Louis in 1995, played a key role in winning a $790 million settlement after their departure. Blitz represented the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, which operates the arena the team used before it decamped to Los Angeles. The authority, along with St. Louis City and County, reached the massive deal with the NFL in late 2021. Blitz also was part of the team of private attorneys who helped Missouri counties secure a $183 million share of the state’s $458 million settlement with opioid manufacturers in 2022.”
Bob was previously included among “The Power List” for Commercial Law attorneys in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and also for Sports & Entertainment Law in 2023.
