Stephen Embry,Esq.
I am a frequent speaker, blogger, and writer on the impact of technology on the practice of law. I am currently Vice-Chair of the American Bar Association Law Technology Resource Center, an Editor of Law Practice Today Webzine and a member of the ABA’s Law Practice Futures Initiative. I am also co-author of a book entitled Mass Tort Claims Resolution Facilities and the 2017 and 2016 editions of the American Bar Association’sTechReports. I am Chair of the Data Breach, Privacy and Cyber Insurance Section of the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel. You can find me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Formerly a member of Frost Brown Todd LLC and the Firm’s class action, privacy and mass tort groups, I am a national litigator and advisor who is experienced in developing solutions to complex litigation and corporate problems. My mission is to find simple, successful and elegant solutions to civil litigation problems and dilemmas primarily in the mass tort, business and consumer class action, and privacy and data breach arenas. For most of my career, I specilized in the defense of mass tort actions.
I recently successfully completed the certification program to earn the title of Technology Master Advocate by the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel. I now practice with my own firm, embryLaw LLC.
In addition to practicing law, my passions include education, officiating swimming on national and local levels and all things tech and travel related. And, finally, he is unabashedly and unapologetically a University of Kentucky basketball fan.
