David A. Geisler, II

After first joining Husch Blackwell’s real estate team as a new law school grad in 2002, David went on to accept an in-house role with a restaurant franchisee, working with hospitality properties nationwide. He later became general counsel for one of southwest Missouri’s largest residential and commercial contractors before moving into the vertical farming and controlled environmental agriculture space. Most recently, David served as manager and general counsel for indoor farming startup Silo Farms, LLC—an experience that put him firmly in the client’s shoes.

David rejoined the firm in late 2024 and currently focuses his practice on commercial real estate sales, acquisitions, leases, and other transactions. He draws on his experience in hospitality, retail, and residential property to work with clients in a wide variety of industries. He also has a special focus as the firm grows its services in alternative farming: with an insider’s understanding of the challenges of indoor agriculture, David seeks to help clients looking to launch and grow the farming operations that will support the world’s future food stability.

A real estate attorney from the beginning of his career, David loves working in a practice area where transactions benefit both parties, and he thrives on supporting clients as they strike the real property deals that will advance their businesses. He knows the client’s goal is to ensure the deal closes, and he never loses sight of this.

Thanks to his 15 years in-house, David has a deep respect for clients and for in-house attorneys. He knows firsthand that clients have businesses to run, and he understands that his job is to help clients further their businesses. David has a reputation as a truly client-focused attorney whose top priority is always to meet the client’s needs.
