Managing Principal, Amy Stewart PC
Her firm is focused on insurance and the sleek and cohesive design of her office
space gives clients the understanding
that Amy stands for high quality with an attention to detail.

Typical work routine:
Amy's daily schedule is determined by whether she's in town or traveling, in court
or in client meetings.
Job stress management:
Besides running, Amy relies on her close group of friends to provide support.
Pet peeves:
Typos, misspelled words, and incomplete sentences in documents that she needs to review drive her a little cray. Poor formatting and font usages also can be distracting to her.

Knowing that the depth of talent within
her team provides strength and relief from having to manage or handle everything
by herself.

Professional advice:
Focus on the business as opposed to just working on being a good lawyer.
Work goal:
"To make my clients life easier."
"I am intrigued by my job and I always have been. It is complex and technical, but I like that. It is my happy place."
"You see a lot of
lawyers who,
instead of listening
to their client, are
busy pursuing their
own objectives,
which may or may
not be aligned with
the client. I want to
be more attentive
and simply make my
client's life easier."
The lobby of Amy's firm includes Barcelona Chairs by Knoll. The painting is by Ginger Cruikshank.
This painting in Amy's office painting is by Trevor Mikula.
"I appreciate the
strengths and
weaknesses of a
complex insurance
coverage case. It
is the perfect mix
of nerdy analytics
and litigation, and
I enjoy both."
The center of Amy's offices includes workstations for legal assistants.
On days when Amy is planning to work on research, she is happy to wear jeans into the office.
More of Trevor Mikula's art can be found around Amy's firm.
The large conference room at the front of Amy's offices makes another strong style impression with artwork by Cheryl Wasilow.
