Press Releases

Dykema, a leading national law firm, announced that Dante Stella was invited by the Board of Directors of the American Bar Foundation (ABF) to become a Fellow of the ABF.

According to the ABF, Fellows comprise a “global honorary society of lawyers, judges, law faculty, and legal scholars who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in the profession and service to society.” Because Fellows membership is strictly limited to one percent of lawyers admitted in the U.S. and its territories, the nomination process is highly selective. Members enjoy social events and educational programs held in-person and virtually throughout the year.

Over more than two decades, his work has spanned numerous fields, including manufacturing, banking, insurance, commercial real estate, investment services, energy, health care, logistics, information technology, and business services.

In his practice, Stella has extensive experience in handling matters with large quantities of data, whether in litigation or data privacy and security matters. Familiar with every aspect of discovery (negotiation, protocols, motion practice, structured and predictive analytics/AI, and project design), he routinely manages discovery in complicated or unusual cases and finds efficient ways to complete data reviews. He guided the buildout of Dykema’s Discovery Management and E-Discovery group, a team of attorneys and technologists now supporting 13 offices in six states and the District of Columbia with class-leading technology and techniques.

Additionally, Stella serves as co-leader of Dykema's Data Privacy and Cybersecurity group.
