"Husch Blackwell (HB) comes with a great reputation, but most importantly Myers Dill was willing to discuss OUR needs. Myers promised me HB would be available for Keystone Bio as we needed and when we needed. That was extremely important for us. One of the biggest roadblocks to a startup of any kind is the need for exceptional legal structure, while at the same time not becoming cash-poor in the pursuit. Myers and HB were great to work with as Keystone Bio worked through that phase."

Dr. Daniel Sindelar, CEO, Keystone Bio

Outside the Office

Having grown up in Springfield, Illinois, Myers is a passionate Chicago and University of Illinois sports fan.

One of the happiest days of his life was spent in Cleveland at Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, when the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings for their first championship since 1908.

Myers also enjoys the vibrant St. Louis music scene and frequently attends concerts in all genres and at a variety of venues, from the Sheldon Concert Hall to The Pageant, Off-Broadway and the Duck Room in the basement of Blueberry Hill.

Above all, Myers enjoys spending time with his family, which includes his wife Christine, daughter Lucia, son Hugh and their two dogs, Chief and Maddie.

Community Leadership

Myers is passionate about education, particularly in underserved and underperforming communities. While his career plan was always the law, he deferred law school for two years to serve in Teach for America, where he taught middle school mathematics to children from disenfranchised communities. The experience taught Myers how to meet individuals where they are and develop a personalized plan to help them grow and move forward—just as he does with clients today.

Since completing his stint with Teach for America, Myers has served on the Board of Directors for HOME WORKS!: The Teacher Home Visit Program, as well as in the role of Alumni Buddy (CAB) and Alumni Mentor for Teach for America’s St. Louis Corps.

As part of his involvement with the St. Louis startup community, Myers also serves on the Arch Grants Global Startup Competition Committee.

Startups

Myers enjoys helping startups launch on the right foot. He helps oversee Husch Blackwell’s office in the Cortex innovation hub, assessing the needs of startup companies and guiding them as they grow.

Startups turn to Myers for intellectual property strategy, including patent prosecution and trademark and copyright protection. He also guides startups in corporate structure and governance and directs them to attorneys who can help secure contracts and funding.
