The IADC is pleased to announce Amy M. Stewart as Chair of the 2025 Leadership Forum. The Leadership Forum is a program held the day before the Corporate Counsel College begins which targets rising stars, regardless of whether you are outside or in-house counsel. The presentations are designed to accelerate the learning curve on the attendees’ path to leadership within their law firm or legal department. Managing partners and senior corporate officers are encouraged to attend along with their rising star.
Selected by Texas Lawyer in 2022 as one of the top three attorneys in Texas, Amy Stewart founded and leads the only minority and woman-owned business litigation defense firm in Dallas-Fort Worth, Stewart Law Group. 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 allows her to implement a dignified, competitive nature in her legal practice.
Amy has been a member of IADC since 2021. She has served as a Trial Academy faculty member, spoken at IADC programming, and has been active in the Business Litigation Committee, Employment Law Committee, and Trial Techniques and Tactics Committee. We look forward to her leadership.
