Bryan D. LeMoine is a Managing Member of Beckemeier LeMoine Law with more than 24 years of experience representing employers, business owners, and nonprofit organizations across Missouri, Illinois, and nationwide. Bryan concentrates his practice in labor law, employment law counseling and litigation, mergers and acquisitions, strategic planning and business valuations, nonprofit governance and compliance, and shareholder and commercial litigation. His clients frequently rely on him as outside general counsel, a role in which he serves as a strategic advisor embedded in their operations — anticipating legal challenges, guiding critical business decisions, and protecting their interests before problems reach the courtroom.
Labor Law & Employment Counsel
Bryan is a seasoned labor and employment attorney who represents management in the full spectrum of workplace legal matters. His labor law practice centers on compliance with the National Labor Relations Act, including collective bargaining negotiations, grievance adjustment, labor arbitration, and filing and responding to unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board. When disputes escalate, Bryan litigates labor matters in federal court, bringing the same strategic, hands-on approach he applies at the bargaining table.
On the employment side, Bryan counsels employers on day-to-day workforce issues — hiring and termination decisions, employee discipline, wage and hour compliance, workplace investigations, and the development of policies and handbooks designed to reduce liability and promote sound management practices. When disputes arise, he defends employers in litigation involving claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and restrictive covenant enforcement. His approach emphasizes proactive counseling to prevent disputes from arising in the first place, and aggressive, efficient defense when they do.
Shareholder & Commercial Litigation
Bryan represents business owners, shareholders, and companies in high-stakes commercial disputes, including shareholder and partnership conflicts, breach of fiduciary duty claims, business valuation disputes, breach of contract actions, and tortious interference claims.
He has a track record of securing favorable outcomes through both dispositive motion practice and trial, including summary judgments in complex employment class actions and the dismissal of significant claims against his clients. Bryan brings a litigator’s mindset to business counseling and a counselor’s strategic perspective to litigation — an approach that consistently serves his clients in both boardrooms and courtrooms.
Mergers & Acquisitions, Strategic Planning & Business Valuations
Bryan guides business owners through some of the most consequential decisions of their professional lives: buying or selling a business, planning for succession, and charting long-term strategic direction. His M&A practice encompasses deal structuring, due diligence, negotiation, and closing, with particular experience representing privately held companies and their owners. He works closely with financial advisors, accountants, and valuation professionals to ensure his clients understand the full picture before committing to a transaction. Bryan also advises companies on strategic planning, ownership transitions, and business valuations, including work with employee-owned companies and organizations transitioning to employee ownership models.
Nonprofit Governance & Compliance
Bryan is a trusted advisor to nonprofit organizations throughout the St. Louis region and beyond, providing counsel on governance, regulatory compliance, board responsibilities, mergers and dissolutions, and human resources matters. He understands the unique legal and operational challenges that nonprofit leaders face and provides practical guidance that keeps organizations mission-focused and legally sound. His commitment to the nonprofit community extends to his pro bono work with St. Louis organizations dedicated to community improvement.
Professional Background & Credentials
Bryan earned his J.D. from the University of Missouri, where he graduated Order of the Coif and served as Lead Articles Editor of the Missouri Law Review. He holds a B.A. in Philosophy and an M.A. in Systematic Theology from Wheaton College, both cum laude. He is admitted to practice in Missouri and Illinois. Bryan sees client service as his calling, and his clients — from Fortune 500 companies to family-owned businesses to community nonprofits — benefit from an attorney who is as invested in their success as they are.
