Career

Walter Stuart is one of the most active and successful trial lawyers in complex litigation and arbitration in the United States and internationally. In a career spanning more than 40 years, he has built a strong reputation for integrity among clients and his fellow attorneys alike.

Walter spent his early years of practice primarily focused on corporate and banking matters but soon found his clients asking him to represent them in contested matters as well. That has evolved into a full time complex litigation practice, with success in jury trials, bench trials and arbitrations.
