Prior to founding STEIN Strategic Solutions, Marta Stein was in private practice for 30 years as a trial attorney specializing in complex commercial litigation and executive counseling matters across the
country, most recently as an equity partner with the internationally recognized law firm of McGuireWoods LLP. Her unique practice combined high-stakes complex commercial litigation cases with outside general counsel services and transactional matters, always focusing on ways to avoid the next piece of litigation.

While at McGuireWoods, Marta served as a member of the firm’s 10- person Finance Committee, Global Chair of the Women’s Leadership Forum, and a member of the Strategic Planning Committee. She also
helped create a Best Practices Litigation Roundtable for General Counsel and Chief Litigation Officers.

Marta has been lead counsel for cases pending in the federal and law/chancery divisions of state courts across the country. Additionally, she has mediated and arbitrated numerous matters under court-ordered and private ADR processes, including those under the large, complex commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Marta graduated from The University of Michigan with a degree in Economics and received her Juris Doctor degree from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. She is a trained mediator, receiving certificates from the Mediation Skills Training Program at Northwestern University and the PLI Program on Negotiations at Harvard Law School. Marta also participated in Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management’s Advanced Leadership Executive Program.

Marta has been accepted by the American Arbitration Association to serve on its National Roster of Arbitrators for commercial matters. In addition, she was asked to be part of the Chicago Bar Association’s inaugural panel of mediators in its newly formed Mediation Service Program for commercial matters.
