About Douglas
Douglas Tschauder combines legal training and business education in a practice that spans Missouri and Kansas. He holds a J.D. and an M.B.A. from the University of Kansas, both completed in 2003, and earned a B.S. from Illinois State University in 1988. His academic record pairs a traditional law degree with formal business study, a background he references when advising clients on matters that touch both legal and commercial concerns.
Tschauder entered the legal profession after completing graduate studies at Kansas. He is licensed to practice in Missouri and Kansas and has practiced across both states. Over the years he has maintained a presence in northwest Missouri, operating out of offices in St. Joseph, Liberty and Plattsburg. That regional footprint has shaped a practice accustomed to cross-jurisdictional questions and the practicalities of serving clients in neighboring communities.
His approach reflects the blend of disciplines on his résumé. He applies legal analysis alongside business judgment, often helping individuals and small to mid-sized businesses address transactional issues, regulatory questions and dispute resolution. He has worked on matters that require clear documentation and pragmatic problem solving. Colleagues describe him as precise in drafting and deliberate in negotiations.
Tschauder’s career has involved both client counseling and courtroom work. He has represented clients in administrative and civil matters and has prepared cases for trial when necessary. His office locations allow him to meet clients locally while handling matters that may cross county or state lines. He is comfortable moving from an office conference room to court filings and hearings.
Outside of case work, he has engaged with local legal communities. He keeps active in professional circles in both states and has participated in continuing legal education programs. Those activities support staying current on changing law and procedure across the two jurisdictions where he practices.
Today Tschauder remains based in northwest Missouri and continues to serve clients from his St. Joseph, Liberty and Plattsburg offices. He currently concentrates his practice on representing clients in legal and business matters across Missouri and Kansas.
