About Emily Logan Stedman

Comments or Opinions Expressed on LinkedIn are Strictly My Own.**I’m a commercial litigator and partner at Husch Blackwell, dedicated to building a more sustainable, human-centered career + legal profession—starting with my own practice and extending to the clients, colleagues, and future lawyers I support.I represent businesses and business leaders in all aspects of commercial litigation, including: Written and electronic discovery; Depositions and oral arguments; Motion practice (dispositive and non-dispositive);Arbitrations, mediations, and negotiations; and Jury trials and appeals. I am to move the needle on attorney wellbeing and professional growth by: Creating honest, actionable content and thought leadership for lawyers at every stage; Teaching, mentoring, and speaking on the realities of Big Law, mental health, and sustainable success; Practicing what I preach—experimenting with time management, boundaries, and self-care, and sharing what actually works (and what doesn’t).I’m committed to using my skills for good; my pro bono highlights include: Challenging the conditions of confinement at Wisconsin’s juvenile prison; Securing a favorable jury verdict for defamation damages against a Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist (affirmed on appeal); Representing incarcerated individuals on appeal; and Drafting end-of-life documents for first responders and public servantsOutside the office, I’m a lifelong tennis player, a college football fan (Go Deacs, Hotty Toddy, Go Dawgs), foodie, and proud English Bulldog mom to Margot and Oxford. Originally from Atlanta, I now call Milwaukee home.If you want to talk about building a sustainable legal career, navigating complex disputes, or simply want a recommendation for the best tennis court or restaurant in Milwaukee, let’s connect.
