About Richard D
Richard D Worth earned his undergraduate degrees in economics and political science at Washington University in St. Louis. He went on to study law at the University of Missouri–Columbia, where he received his Juris Doctor. Those academic credentials provided a blend of policy, analysis and legal training that shapes his approach to practice.
He is admitted to practice in both Illinois and Missouri. His career path has included work tied to the financial services sector, and his résumé lists an office affiliation with Edward Jones. That placement has given him regular exposure to the kinds of legal issues that arise in a large, regulated business environment.
Colleagues describe him as methodical. He favors clear analysis over flourish. In client meetings he asks practical questions first, then turns to the law. That steadiness has served him in matters that require careful review of contracts, regulatory guidance and internal policies.
On paper his background is straightforward. Two degrees from respected universities. Licensure in two Midwestern states. Day-to-day, his work sits at the intersection of corporate operations and compliance demands. He handles tasks that range from drafting and reviewing business documents to advising on state and federal regulatory matters.
He has maintained professional ties in both Illinois and Missouri, which allows him to operate across state lines when the work requires. That flexibility is useful for clients and employers whose business footprints are regional rather than local. He has experience working inside an institutional setting, where coordination with business units and outside counsel is part of routine practice.
Outside the office, he brings the same attention to detail to professional development and keeping current on legal trends. He watches changes in law that affect financial institutions and corporate clients, and he adjusts his practice practices as standards evolve. His manner is pragmatic: prioritize compliance, reduce legal risk and keep operations moving.
Richard D Worth currently practices law at an Edward Jones office and handles legal matters arising from that firm’s operations.
