As the most recent general counsel to the Office of Mayor Quinton Lucas in Kansas City, Missouri, Schreiber spearheaded high-profile development initiatives and participated in some of the city’s most significant projects, including major sports ventures, housing development, and infrastructure improvements. He created innovative financing mechanisms and structured sophisticated multi-party transactions while building consensus among diverse stakeholder groups across multiple levels of government.
Schreiber employs this experience and public service-oriented mindset to represent clients with diligent advocacy, creative problem solving, and strategic relationship building both in and out of the courtroom. His unique public sector background helps him effectively utilize all applicable laws and regulations to achieve optimal outcomes in high-stakes matters. This comprehensive experience in both transactional and litigatory contexts provides clients with counsel who anticipates challenges and structures solutions for long-term success.
