Susan Nell Rowe

Susan Nell Rowe has practiced employment law for over thirty years. She has handled jury trials and appeals, EEOC and MCHR charges and other matters. Her practice also includes counsel and advice, manager training, and the development of employee handbooks and policies. She has enforced non-compete agreements and has drafted employment contracts and severance agreements. She has investigated sexual harassment complaints and has helped managers and human resource professionals conduct harassment investigations. She has been selected as a mediator in over forty employment disputes. She has represented clients in many types of businesses, including healthcare, professional consulting, manufacturing, food service and hospitality, and personal services. She has also represented nonprofits and local governments. Her clients include executives and professionals, and she has counseled clients facing discipline and separation from employment. Prior to opening her own firm, Ms. Rowe practiced in a corporate law firm where she served on the management committee for many years. That experience gave her an understanding of employment law issues from the perspective of a business owner. By taking advantage of technology and keeping overhead low, she has been able to provide the expertise of an experienced employment attorney at a reasonable rate. Ms. Rowe believes in serving the St. Louis community, and she has been on the boards of several area non-profits, including Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, Inc., Deaconess Foundation, The Missouri Lawyers Trust Account Foundation and Eden Theological Seminary. Outside of her law practice, Ms. Rowe spends time studying horticulture and garden design. She is the mother of two adult children and she resides in the City of St. Louis.
