  • Profile

  • Education & Admissions

  • Professional Involvement

Although Fritz Riesmeyer is relatively new to the Seigfreid Bingham team, he has been practicing law for 30 years. He joined Seigfreid Bingham so he could better serve his clients and also because the firm has a strong reputation in Kansas City and the Midwest. He formerly lead the firm’s Litigation Practice Group and spends a lot of his time working with and mentoring other attorneys. He especially enjoys working with businesses that are seeking a litigation partner that can help the business to figure out its legal issues

A practice built on business litigation.

Fritz’s primary focus is business and commercial trial and dispute resolution. This includes all phases of dispute resolution, settlement negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, jury trials, trials to the court, and handling appeals. His experience with trials in a wide variety of business disputes, paired with his knowledge, means he is always willing and ready to go to trial when that is in the best interest of the client.

He also advises small and medium-sized businesses on a wide range of legal issues and concerns, including how businesses operate day-to-day. This experience helps to give Fritz a more holistic view of a business’ operations.

An aggressive and intelligent advocate on your side.

Fritz enjoys the intellectual aspects of law and likes advocating for clients in the courtroom or through an alternative dispute resolution process. He prides himself on spending a lot of hands on time with his clients, and being attentive, responsive, and thorough in his communication.

When he’s not practicing law, Fritz spends time teaching in the legal community. He was an instructor with National Institute of Trial Advocacy-Chicago and Kansas City and is the Founder and Master of the KCMBA Trial Academy. In 2012-2013 he chaired the KCMBA on rewriting the rules of civility.
