Davis Featured in Multiple Outlets for New Leadership Role

BCLP Partner Ryan Davis was featured by the St. Louis Business Journal, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Kansas City Business Journal and Sports Law Expert, and noted in Bloomberg Law, for the recent announcement that he will assume leadership duties of the firm’s St. Louis office, effective May 1. In addition, he was featured again by the St. Louis Business Journal on growth plans, return to the office and upcoming challenges. Davis is co-leader of the firm’s Sports & Entertainment Group and maintains an active M&A and corporate practice at the regional and national level. He succeeds Robert Newmark, who has led the office since 2011. “I have quite literally grown up in the St Louis office and have seen firsthand several of my partners lead the firm and this office with tireless dedication and commitment,” Davis said. “As the leader of the St. Louis office, Bob has set a very high bar, and his leadership, guidance and compassion during the pandemic in particular have been remarkable. I look forward to following in the footsteps of those that came before me and to continuing the tradition of leadership in our St. Louis office.”  Stifel Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ron Kruszewski commented: “I’ve worked with Ryan since he was an associate, going back to 2005. In that time, he has advised Stifel on nearly every one of our 30+ acquisitions. He is a tireless, committed, team-oriented partner who drives great results for his clients, for his firm, and for the St. Louis community. I believe Ryan will be a great leader for Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner’s St. Louis office.”
