Born and raised outside of Atlanta, Georgia, Emily Logan Stedman has called Milwaukee home since June 2013. She obtained her B.A. in Spanish and History from Wake Forest University. Next, she taught 5th Grade in Buckeye, Arizona with Teach for America. She then attended University of Mississippi School of Law, where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the Mississippi Law Journal. Emily then clerked in the Eastern District of Wisconsin, before joining Big Law in 2016. Currently, she is a commercial litigation partner at Husch Blackwell LLP. 

It was joining Big Law that brought on an increase in anxiety and low mood in Emily. After seeking out solace with colleagues, therapy, and meditation, she began talking more openly about the need for improving wellbeing in the law. She has built a platform on LinkedIn and Twitter, where she posts regularly on the realities Big Law and destigmatizing lawyer wellbeing.
