About Ed
Ed Sterling earned his B.A. from Princeton University in 1975, where he studied Urban Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He continued his legal education at New York University School of Law and received his J.D. in 1978. Those years of study combined public policy and law, shaping the way he approaches legal problems.
After law school Sterling established his practice in Missouri. He is admitted to the bar in that state and has spent the bulk of his career advising clients whose matters bring them before Missouri courts and regulatory bodies. His background in urban affairs gives him a formal grounding in the policy questions that often underlie municipal and governmental legal work.
Sterling is listed as an attorney at Gilmore & Bell. At the firm he works on matters that intersect public entities and private parties. He has worked on transactional and advisory matters, and his work often involves interpreting statutory and regulatory requirements that affect clients operating within Missouri.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and steady. He tends to approach cases by mapping the legal issues back to the policy context that produced them. That approach comes from his academic training and decades of practice. He has remained active in professional circles and maintains current memberships in bar-related organizations.
He currently practices at Gilmore & Bell, concentrating on legal matters in Missouri.
