His practice has principally focused on the areas of transactional securities law, commercial transactions, and general corporate law.

Mr. Mehan recently fulfilled the mediation training requirement set out in Missouri Supreme Court Rule 17 at the University of Missouri School of Law, Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution.

Mr. Mehan’s practice entails representation of broker/dealers and investment advisors in connection with registration and licensing issues before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Missouri Division of Securities, the Missouri Department of Insurance, and the Missouri Department of Financial Institutions, as well as compliance and other issues faced in the day-to-day operations of brokerage firms and investment advisors. This aspect of Mr. Mehan’s practice includes more than 32 years of the prosecution and defense of customer complaints and other inter-brokerage disputes in arbitration for individual investors, local brokerage firms, and the local branches of national firms.

Mr. Mehan’s experience also includes complex commercial matters, mergers and acquisitions, and purchases and sales of assets and securities ranging from relatively small dollar size to multi-million dollar transactions.
