Histori
The Polsinelli Company was started in 1972 by Jim Polsinelli and two other young lawyers in a small office to serve business and real estate clients in the historic Country Club District in Kansas City, Missouri.
Polsinelli represented small businesses and entrepreneurs throughout the 1980s. In the mid-1980s the company expanded its trial practice by adding national product liability practices.
In the 1990s, Polsinelli continued to grow well in the number of lawyers. In 2000, Polsinelli created the Science and Technology group with patent lawyers and businesses that focused on the growing biotech industry.
With the June 2004 merger with Suelthaus, PC, an entrepreneurial business law firm composed of 35 St. Lawyers Louis, founded in 1929, the company doubled the size of his office in St. Louis. Louis. In July 2005, he opened an office in Washington, D.C. and New York. In January 2006, Nasharr & amp; Shea LLC, a small banking and real estate firm, merged into the company, giving the office to Polsinelli in Chicago.
On February 1, 2009, 300 lawyers of the Polsinelli firm merged with Shughart Thomson & Kilroy, P.C., 180 Kansas City-based lawyer, a regional law firm with a reputation for national trials and business practice. Shughart Thomson & amp; Kilroy (STK) traces its roots to 1939 when Harry Thomson graduated from law school and joined Henry Shughart. The third partner named, Jack Kilroy, Sr., joined the company after World War II. STK grew largely due to its recognition of main court lawyers.
On January 1, 2014, the company added Rafuse Hill & amp; Hodges, a group of highly experienced job lawyers.
Between 2012 and 2016, the company has also added offices in Houston, Boston, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley.

Headquarters
Polsinelli is headquartered in Plaza Vista at Country Club Plaza. Prior to that, the company was headquartered at Country Club Plaza at the Plaza Steppes building beginning in 1991. Previously it had been placed in the Plaza Theater building in the Plaza. His efforts to move to new headquarters in recent years have encountered some controversy. In 2010 they proposed moving to a new 8 storey glass tower at 47th and Broadway on the east side of the Plaza. The structure would involve tearing down the vintage building of the 1920s in a traditional low rise Spanish-style Plaza and replacing it with highrise glass. The plan was eventually withdrawn after much protest.
In 2012 it announced plans to knock down the previously designed and unfinished Moshe Safdie-designed West Bank building that was originally built for Bob Bernstein on the west side of the Plaza and replace it with a 10-storey structure designed by 360 Architecture called Plaza Vista. On February 12, 2013, a natural gas explosion in the gas line leads to JJ Restaurant across the street from the restaurant leveling project and damaging the glass curtain walls of Plaza Vista. Roof of Plaza Vista must also be replaced by embers. Despite the setbacks, the contractor can complete the project and the company can move to their new headquarters on November 1, 2013.
