10.12.2023

Stinson LLP Partners Matt Moderson and Julie Scheipeter have been recognized by Missouri Lawyers Media as 2023 Up & Coming Attorneys. This award recognizes attorneys 40 or younger or in their first 10 years of practice for their work, leadership and community service.

Moderson applies his diverse litigation skills to represent businesses and individuals in complex financial, commercial and construction disputes. His practice encompasses areas such as business torts, financial services and construction matters, and has taken him to courts and arbitrations across the country. He has collaborated with executives and employers on noncompete matters and advocated for clients in breach of contract, tortious interference and breach of fiduciary duty cases. This year, Moderson was selected by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce as a member of its Centurions Leadership Program Apex Class of 2025. Moderson has served on the Board of Directors of Newhouse Domestic Violence Shelter in Kansas City, Missouri, and participated in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 2022 Visionary of the Year campaign.

"I have witnessed firsthand Matt's devotion to our clients," Stinson's Business Litigation Practice Division Co-Chair Angela Bechtel said. "His meticulous attention to detail and client-centered approach have earned him the trust and respect from both clients and peers alike."

Scheipeter focuses her practice on intellectual property litigation and trademark prosecution, representing plaintiffs and defendants in trademark, trade secret, copyright, patent and false advertising cases in federal courts nationwide. She has experience working with clients ranging from single member LLCs and family-owned businesses to large corporations. Scheipeter was recognized in 2020 with the firm's Pro Bono Community Development Award for her extensive devotion of time and effort pertaining to legal work for the Hyde Park neighborhood in St. Louis.

"Julie is fueled by a genuine passion for protecting the rights of innovators and creators and a strong dedication to effective and efficient client service," Stinson's Intellectual Property & Technology Practice Division Co-Chair Steve Cosentino said. "She consistently raises the bar for our clients, and her remarkable acumen and collaborative mindset has made her an invaluable asset to both our division and to the industry as a whole. Julie's advocacy skills on behalf of our clients are well beyond her years."

Moderson, Scheipeter and their fellow honorees will be recognized during a celebration on October 12, 2023 in St. Louis.
