Anton J. Stewart

"I truly enjoy the labor of putting together a persuasive, intellectually rigorous argument. As an advocate, I draw on my cross-jurisdictional experience to find unique and economical solutions to my clients’ legal challenges and then make sure that the court not only hears but fully understands my client’s position."
— Anton J. Stewart

An attorney with a practice spanning civil and common law systems, Anton J. Stewart brings eight years of nationwide experience to clients engaged in high-stakes business disputes. Licensed in Texas, New York, and the District of Columbia, Anton represents Fortune 500 companies and emerging businesses in commercial, trade secret, employment, and mass tort matters in federal and state courts across the country.

Anton's approach to litigation is both strategic and practical. He focuses on achieving optimal business outcomes first and legal victories second, working closely with his clients to develop case management strategies that align with the clients’ long-term business goals.

Whether through aggressive motion practice, successful jury trials, or negotiated settlements, Anton ensures his clients receive results-oriented representation that preserves their ongoing profitability and goodwill.

“I can win the case for you but are you getting made whole at the end? If the answer is ‘no,’ then I am not doing my job. My clients hire me to protect their business, not get a million-dollar judgment against an insolvent debtor.”

Recognized as Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch (2025), Anton successfully uses his business acumen to obtain measurable results for clients across industries. His recent successes include agreed injunctive relief for an oilfield client in a $4 million unfair competition case, dismissal of over 20 federal and state employment claims for management-side clients, and a full jury verdict in a complex UCC dispute.

Anton is particularly skilled at preventing litigation through proactive business counseling. His philosophy is on-point: “If you have a $100,000+ deal, spend a fraction of its worth on a competent lawyer to review the terms. Business disputes are inevitable, but proactive legal counsel will save you tenfold when a lawsuit comes."

Anton's international legal education and experience provide a unique perspective on cross-border business matters. Fluent in French and Russian, he serves clients with global operations and complex international legal needs.

Outside of the courtroom, Anton is an avid traveler, with over 50 countries and 20+ states and territories under his belt. A skilled pianist and student of diverse government systems, Anton brings that deep intellectual curiosity and global perspective to his legal practice.
