Amy M. Stewart
Founding Partner
Intuitive. Strategic. Relentless.
Selected by Texas Lawyer in 2022 as one of the top three attorneys in Texas, Amy founded and leads the only minority and woman-owned business litigation defense firm in Dallas-Fort Worth. Amy resolves commercial, employment/labor, and product liability matters for the firm’s multiple Fortune 100 clients. Also, Amy is certified as an Arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association and presides over commercial, construction, and employment matters. She was recently inducted into the prestigious International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution Panel of Distinguished Neutrals. In addition to her civil trial and arbitration experience, Amy is a highly sought-after investigator who leads high-profile and sensitive ethics and workplace-related investigations.
What sets Amy apart from other attorneys are the skills she garnered from her experience in the athletic world. Winning is in her blood – she played college basketball at Wake Forest University and coached Division I basketball at her alma mater and Tulane University before shifting her focus to wins in the courtroom. Amy’s unique background leads her to zealously compete on her clients’ behalf with an aggressive yet respectful approach.
A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH
As one of her long-time clients explains, “Amy has the unique ability to not only connect with our CEO but also bond with front-line workers to get the job done.” Based on her experience building winning teams, Amy never gives up on meeting her client’s objectives and uses her intellect and intuition to alter the game plan when issues arise. Business clients want Amy and her team to lead and represent their interests as their outside legal counsel. Opposing counsel respects her legal acumen and tenaciousness.
